No. Now understand that I'm not saying 100-150 is bad. I'm just not in agreement that it is undoubtedly a consolation. IMO The way the surveyor wrote up the anchor locker gave credibility to his knowledge and skills. If he had no comments about the deck then that would be a consolation. It is

The deck is a different thickness and layup so by themselves numbers of 100-150 are just as irrelevant. Now if the entire deck read 100-150 with NO peaks around deck penetrations then that would be consoling information. Then again if the wide open flat portions consistently read 100 but the pene

Thanks Josh.  Figured as much.   They're selling for such a low price that I think it is reflected.   Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 7:33 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list

You can't make anything of it. The meter gives a comparison to the areas nearby. You could ask the seller to perform the recommended temporary repair. If there is any moisture you will certainly find it, and rotted wood. Josh On Tue, Aug 27, 2019, 7:16 PM Peter Cowenhoven via CnC-List < cnc-li

The survey suggested the bottom was wet (199 and anove) with readings from 250 to 450.    Not sure what to make of this in a boat that is almost 35 years old. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 6:33 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: ___

I would still suggest that he did not find delamination but rather wet core. You may be able to find the source of the moisture intrusion if you look on the inside and above the indicated area. There is likely a water tank in the vicinity of the area below the anchor locker floor. This tank coul

FYI Survey:  EXTERIOR HULL: [B1] The topsides and bottom were sounded with a hammer and I found de-laminated areas of approximately three square feet on the port side, four square feet on the starboard side both below and above the water line at the stem. This de-lamination apparently comes from

There's no visible signs.  He was taking moisture readings in the 200 to 225 range and registered delamination based on the hammer test.  The boat well priced so it doesn't change much for me. Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue, Aug 27, 2019 at 5:42 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote

I would second guess the surveyor. At least dig a little deeper and determine what his indicators are. Moisture meters are broad go/no-go tests that help focus one's attention. They can easily indicate the presence of moisture as a result of water in the bilge, or even places where a wet rope wa

I’ve had no issues with delamination at the bow of my 1983 Landfall 35. When I bought the boat several years back, we discovered moisture on deck just around the anchor locker but nothing below. It is very easy for the anchor locker drain to become clogged with mud and debris, so it is best to
