The results were not horrific but there are some areas of concern and I have some questions for other C&C owners with Balsa cored boats from around 1986. 1. The surveyor asked if the balsa extends below the water line or is the boat solid glass waterline down? 2. There was a high moisture content found in the bow area, starboard side below the waterline just below the chain locker area. Is there a water tank there or could this be wet balsa? 3. There was a very high moisture content all around the shaft log (where the propeller shaft protrudes) - Does anyone know why that would be? 4. There was slightly elevated moisture around the anchor windlass and foot pedals. Was an electric windlass a standard install on a C&C44 or could this moisture be due to someone cutting a hole themselves without isolating the core? Thanks everyone, sorry, I know this was a little longer but It'd be great to know what I'm dealing with! :) Dan On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 11:03 PM, Dan <dgcorm...@gmail.com> wrote: Sorry if this was sent twice - the first time I tried it I was not registered but had no responses... I'm looking at a 1986 C&C 44 to buy. Before I get into paying for a survey to check the core out with a moisture meter I'm wondering if any 44 owners out there have had any problems with wet core? - when you remove through hull fittings is the core isolated with solid glass to prevent egress or can you visibly see the balsa core layer? _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
