Default Buying fiberglass boat that ran aground and needs keel repair?

At a glance, I'm kinda glad my boat isn't a BB.


No offense intended.
I went to the "core repair" forum first, and all those descriptions of wood
rot gave me the willies.




I wouldn't touch a boat with a cored hull with a 50' pole. Some smaller
boats have cored transoms (cored with a closed bubble foam or special
treated ply) and those are okay because it's easy to control and seal
any holes properly, and even replace if it ever is necessary, but a
cored hull...no way. Plus, the few cored hulls I have seen with holes in
them seem to have very thin fiberglass on each side of the coring material.
