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


He's looking for the sound of the seller and or broker clocking him
upside the head.


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


No stethoscope needed. A rawhide mallet makes sense.

I know one surveyor who has a little wooden judges gavel... that's a
classy touch. Most that I've seen use the handle of a screwdriver.

And as usual, Boobsy hasn't got a clue. Maybe he read this in a sailing
magazine, but the way to "sound" any lamination (not just cored) is tap
in a grid pattern, listening for changes in the sound which are not
accountable by structure. In other words, if you get a "pok... pok...
pok... thud" and there is a stringer or beam or some structural
difference, then it's OK. If not, then you do a tighter grid & try to
map out the problem.

It's not rocket science, and anybody trying it with a hammer is friggin
dunce who should not be allowed near a boat.

IIRC Loco is retired. But, hey, I'm sure he's jealous that you're

You have to wonder if Doug even knows what a hammer looks like. Hammers
used by surveyors are tiny. Some use little wood hammers, mallets and
so on...all HAMMERS.
Doug, you're an idiot. I actually work with surveyors. You own a
trawler.

But let's take it a bit further to PROVE how dumb and full of it Doug
is!

Hammer: 1 a : a hand tool consisting of a solid head set crosswise on a
handle and used for pounding.

Gosh...do surveyors use hammers or is that Doug's head that's
solid!!!???

Good job, Doug! You're so eager to attack that you've exposed yourself
again.

What bone head gave you that advice?

In rea life, if you show up to look at a boat for sale, and want to use

a hammer to "sound" the decks, the owner (or his rep) would yank it
away
from you and smack you with it.

Doug...do you EVER work with a surveyor? Do you have a clue as to what
KIND of hammer is used? Here's a hint...it's small and not heavy! Ever
hear of a phenolic hammer?
Doug, I used to think you knew something and now it looks like you're
full of crap like Loco.

This isn't real life Doug, it's make believe.
