How much would you worry about a "wet" stringer? The guy says that it will pass a survey though????

Did he give you a percentage? Were they able to determine were the water got in?

He said that yes he knows how the water got in. What would a good and a bad percentage be?

cancer is cancer..and it grows if you buy a boat with cancer, it may pass todays check up but soon you will be paying for surgery and chemotherapy.....

10-12% would be about the highest it could be and still pass. Beyond that is considered excessive. Also define just what "passing" is, if it is his surveyor it may be biased.

Bigboat28, one thing about it your in Ohio Dave will fix it right up for you. Get a price from Dave to fix and have seller take it off the price. Then everybody wins, when Daves done you will know exactly what you got. He does awesome work well worth the travel time.

89scarab do you have a number for Dave?

419-461-4114 if you have any questions about the process. (any time, the later the better)

I would recommend dave also but he keeps blowing me off to go to stip clubs and what not!!! Imagine the guy has not come out once to get all dusty and gross to help a brother out...... 101 post #3 on its way
