Moisture in the Fiberglass

[Nauti Girl]

Any one know about costs associated with moisture in the fiberglass? We found out the Bayliner we are wanting has this problem in a few places. Should we run and look elsewhere? Or is it worth it to fix ourselves if thats the most major concern overall for the boat?

Not much about the extent or what the problem is BUT

i would RUN


There are just to many used boats without BIG problems for a new boater to get involved with a boat with problems

I agree with Tommays!

Where is the moisture? Sometimes the whole underside of my boat is literally sitting in water!:devil:

Unless you are getting a really, really, really great deal, I would stay away!!! Transom and stringer rot can lead to ALOT of money in repairs!

Oh you're a funny one! This boat was just what we were looking for though:| We'll see what all the surveyor has to say tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey Nauti, d , problem with stringers and water is that you can't see it. Might have the boat weighed and compare the weight to the "dry weight" supplied by the mfgr and add your extras.

Soggy stringers will show up there.
