Moisture meters?
 
Would like recommendations on the best moisture meter for checking hull moisture conditions, transom, stringers and bulkheads. Thank you in advance.

I have a JR Overseas from years ago.

I am looking at these 2. Any other suggestions? There seemed to be a lot of good info on the trailer thread. need more suggestions on good equipment.

Northernoffshore, does the skipper plus give good readings shooting thru fiberglass such as the transom and stringers? In the reviews and product info it really does not describe the process. Thanks in advance for any additional help.

I'm also in the market for a meter. I've been looking at the Tramex Skipper Plus, JR Overseas GRP33 and the Electrophysics CT-33 (which is the same as the GRP33 I'm told, JR just has the rights to distribute in the US).
I'm most likely going to run with the CT-33, as I am but minutes away from being able to get it in Canada. However, if you look on certain auction sites, it appears you can get the CT-33 there for $155, which is the other way I'm debating purchasing it.
I really like the look of the Tramex, and will wait a day or two before pulling the trigger on the CT-33. The Tramex is available at Zoro Tools, and if they should pop up with another 30% everything in the next few days I'll just go that route.

BUP, which model of JR Overseas do you have and has it worked good for you on boats?

Ok, I lied about waiting a couple of days lol. Just purchased the CT-33 on eBay, didn't want to wait too much longer to buy one. Also got the calibration block, bringing the total to well under $200
