The big issue with plywood coring is that it can wick water long
distances from where it enters the core. End grain balsa coring does not
have that capability.

I had a surveyor that in addition to the normal moisture meter used an
infrared camera. Temperature variances could show or confirm all types
internal inconsistencies. It was on the pricey side of the survey spectrum
but provided me a little extra peace of mind. ~$800.

Ryan,
I doubt the surveyor is going to tell you what the readings are. You are
probably going to have to remove some bolts and see how bad it is. Given
the size of the area, I would plan for a re-core, and make my offer based
on that assumption.

Rob and Petar,
Thanks so much for the insight. It sounds like I have a decision to make
when I get the survey back and can see exactly what the moisture readings
are. It's a Morgan 382, so I'm actually not even sure if it's balsa or
foam coring.
Thanks again
Ryan

I second the opinion that a simple moisture meter is insufficient to
dictate the severity of decay and extent of repair . The readily accepted
method of sealing penetrations is to drill a hole for your fastener 1/8" to
1/4" larger than the circumference of the fastener. Then use a bent nail

Ryan,
My boat will be at Osprey most of the winter for painting and a bottom
job. They did the bottom of my C&C when I bought her.

Ryan,
The first thing to do is remove the track and determine the type of core in
the deck. If a C&C I expect it is balsa. If that is the case, then
determine if the core has decayed. That is, is it brown mush. If not, and
the core is still pristine, but has a high moisture content, you may be

Hey all,
A survey on a boat we are looking to buy turned up some elevated moisture
readings on the port side under the genoa track. I would do this repair myself
as I understand what needs to be done, however my wife is insisting I leave
this job to a very experienced professional.
