Thanks,
I have a 1999 express cruiser. Good boat but I just had it surveyed for my insurance company. The surveyor said I had water around the forward hatch, the railing attach points and the thwart on both sides. When you do a survey make sure you do a thorough moisture check.. I am disappointed in Sea Ray because of this problem. Evidently the core is balsa wood and sucks up moisture.
