Hull rot/wetness/osmosis
whatever you may call it it is a perpetual problem with second hand buyers…
but what actually causes it?
being left in water?
the boat having not seawater e.g. rainwater in constant contact with the transom/stringers??
interested in opinions

I've heard a number of theories- all the way from the outdrive not being properly sealed, screws in the transom not seated, rain water, bilge water left in to sit. I don't think there is one good answer. I can tell you this much - that is one of the reasons why we looked only at a Cobalt-- except for the instrument and radio mounts EVERYTHING else is composite - will never rot.
