Million dollar question.....how much are they asking? You'll get a better consensus from the group on its value wet or dry.

Let's just say it'll be just slightly under 40K. Even at 50k the market and offerings don't change much. For this price it just might work me me.

kiln dried is 6-9% moisture…even then unless sealed typically picks up moisture from the air as it sits

non kiln dried…hard pressed to get below 12%. Typically 12-20% moisture depending on the wood.

I swear by the hammer test but have a 30 yr boat broker friend who will not take a listing w/o the seller allowing an 1/8” drill hole/core sample of the inside of transom.

I even looked at one boat that he told me the sample was damp.

Tough to debate that.

The end of the handle of a screwdriver works really well too.

I made the mistake of telling a dock neighbor what I thought after tapping out the stringers of his 38’ Chris Craft cruiser!

Never do that again 😉

The surveys Ive had done , noone ever used that moisture meter, it`s always FLIR
