This was my joy with termites. I couldn’t imagine buying a big boat with damage and restoring.

Wondering myself about what termite damage looks like....this past Summer I noticed dried out decayed wood falling beneath my rear bench seat.
The pieces that I could grab when I reached in to feel around you could almost crush it to powder............................do these pictures tell anything?

^^^That looks like wet rot after it dries out (sustained contact with wet foam)...

the termite pic is in Full Force's thread on the Fountain he is parting out that he picked up in LA - Post 2
