I did the thread search for concrete ballast. Some say run away and others make the point of how well it was encapsulated to prevent moisture intrusion. Another issue is no matter how well encapsulated it may be, there is shrinkage of the concrete when it sets up that can create a void between the fiberglass hull and the concrete which would almost guarantee that moisture would find it's way to the concrete.
There are a few Willards out there with concrete ballast. Do they all have moisture and rust issues?
I really like a boat I'm seriously looking at that has concrete and steel ballast. It ticks off most of the boxes I want, but I don't need a project boat either.
What say ye?
