That makes me feel a lot safer. What were you taking the hammer
for, to
check for dry rot in the planking?

Sound the deck before using the meter. We the deck to be 100% dry with
a small one inch void only in the starboard side deck.

So Bob... what type of sound are you looking for when applying a whack with
a 28oz waffle faced framing hammer to the gelcoat??

I've seen a surveyor use a rawhide mallet and a stethoscope before.....
sort of weird!
