I greatly appreciate the efforts you made to uncover any problems with
the Beneteau boats. But as you know just about every builder has had
problems at some time. Luckily we did a careful bottom survey using
both sounding and GRP 33 meters (2). Here's a clip from the survey.

"Inspection of the underbody at haulout, showed good anti-fouling
applied over a relatively smooth and fair surface working well to
inhibit hard marine growth. There was no evidence of osmotic blisters
on or about the underbody, quite remarkable for a boat of this age is
these warm southern waters. This underbody is outstanding and shows its
owners have kept up with service to the underbody."

The word OUTSTANDING sums things up nicely and as you know the hull is
not cored.

Thanks for the heads up, but we're way ahead of you!
