Ah yes, David Pascoe, purveyor of misinformation about
engines & hater of cored laminates.

This seems to be one his less whacko essays, but on the
whole I am dubious about much of what Pascoe claims.

The best way to find how much water is in the laminate would
be to cut it open & look directly, as Matt Colie suggests.
Since fiberglass can be repaired to be stronger than new, if
you *really* wanted to know, this would be the obvious course.

Another way would be to put the boat into a giant microwave
oven.

Most people don't want to know that badly, so one wonders
why they claim to attach so much importance to trapped
moisture in their hulls.
