Matt, I would agree about the adhesion problem but there is a good chance the plywood has just failed from a structural standpoint. Per the Surveyor, he only drilled 1/4" down into the ply core from the top. For me to take any stalk in a core sample it needs to show a cross section of entire...

I received a phone call today from the Surveyor who reported that 3 cores were taken from the hull and they "looked good, not wet and not delaminated." My question is, if the core samples are taken in the suspect areas, areas that showed delamination as well as high moisture content...through...

Les, Thank you for your post regarding the boat you currently have listed. I do feel compelled to respond to something you stated in your last post. "I'm thinking it's a 30 year old hull that's generally in better than average condition and has a couple of areas I might have to do something...

Matt, Thank you for the reply. Why would a surveyor not take responsibility for a survey he was hired to do after he did it? As I explained on my previous post, I have until close of business today to decide whether or not to pursue this boat or move on to something newer, the salesman is not...

Rogerbum, Thank you for the reply and for letting me know that "all caps" are difficult to read. In no way did I suggest the salesman at EQ-Marine was anything less than honest and I certainly did not imply that he was not a "straight-shooter." In fact, the salesman encouraged the survey to...

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING A 1981 C-DORY ANGLER, HULL #8 WHICH IS LOCATED AT EQ-MARINE IN OAK HARBOR WASHINGTON. I DON'T THINK THIS BOAT HAS A NAME, ALTHOUGH IT DOES HAVE HUNKY DORY WRITTEN ON THE SIDE. THE QUESTIONS I HAVE FOR ALL THE C-DORY ENTHUSIASTS ARE: 1. AFTER A HULL SURVEY...
