Hi there,

I'm working on my project boat, 1975 fiberglass (I acquired recently), and
the question I keep getting asked is will she float? I know it did when it
was used last 10+ years ago, but since then hasn't been in water.

Would there be any reason to believe that it may not float?
What would the tell tale signs be?

If it displaces less than it weighs, it will sink. If it
displaces more than it weighs, it will float.
