Default Moisture Meters Not Reliable!

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.

Dunno about hulls generally, but my understanding is that in the case of
decks it gets pretty expensive to do the repair if you let them get spongy
all over.


Sure, but are readings in the deck liable to be false from
the boat being recently hauled? That was the *big* *issue*
Pascoe was raving about.

Also, delamination and/or rotting wood core in the deck is
detectable without using a moisture meter... actually, cores
can get delaminated from things other than water saturation.
