I'd bet ya most "dry" boats are actually wet if you dig deep enough. Especially 30 year old ones.

My Pantera was a heated garage kept boat its entire life. Never left in the water for more than a day or two (I know the previous 2 owners. One bought it new and the other guy had it until I bought it) it was "dry" as a bone except the rear stringers and 2 bulkheads were wet.

Point being, 30 plus year old boats with wood in them are just about all wet.

no need, I know what I'm looking at, I didn't buy this boat thinking it was solid, I knew it was wet in a few spots... but until you drill a core sample even a meter don't mean chit. People think I bought the boat by not looking it over well or by mistake not finding things that's not true I bought the boat because I knew if I found more I could Parkette out and move onto the next one and put a few bucks in my pocket that's why I'm really not caring that much. No there's a handful of people out there that think the joke is on me Timw is stupid but I'm absolutely not I can I assure that Lol

if it was just the 2 in video I would have ran it forever.. there's more ...

Don't Sweat it . That boat will break you in the Rough long before it breaks . Trust Me.

Tim, what do you suppose the bare hull is worth? I dont know a whole hell of a lot about the value of boats with known moisture. Did the Cafe completley go away?

There is a term used in Geology "Water always wins, if you don't believe me look at the Grand Canyon."
Applies to boats also.

not by strength but perseverance ....................

I have cafe away to a local guy super cheap to feee up trailer, he's doing the glass work now...

i am listing the gun in parts ad, it's not junk just not a project I'm gonna do when my mistress is dry, there's more boats to buy, I knew this was a win either way so I bought it
