High Moisture Readings / Old Boat
Hi Everyone,
We are looking at at late 80's Trojan F32 with very high moisture readings in the hull, but zero signs of blistering either currently or in the past. Our surveyor, who was VERY thorough, said the following: "Bottom was found in above average condition, having no signs of blistering,crazing or delamination. High moisture levels were noted, ranging between 80-100 and some crusty deposits were noted, indicating laminate hydrolysis. Recommendation to dry store vessel each winter off season to maintain current good condition. If vessel is left overboard, some blistering or delamination could be expected over time." I know I'm asking for a barrage of opinions, but, considering it's a 16 year old boat and the fact we are first time boat buyers and that the rest of the survey was above average, what do you all think? And - will future buyers balk at resale? |
