Good luck with your search.
M.B.

I appreciate the assist, but that one appears to only sleep two. Looking for boat capable of sleeping 5 or 6 in permanent bunks. Ideal boat is a 48 Defever, or 49 Defever RPH (not all floor plans) but they've skyrocketed in asking price recently.

"This Trawler was built in Taiwan and built using (DIVINYCELL PVC FOAM as Core) in the decks, Stringers and everywhere core was needed so no rot."

Why the Foredeck moisture concern with the PVC Foam Core. There can be no rot on the Decks.
Or am I missing something ?

The way I read it was that he was concerned that the guy using the moisture meter was using it incorrectly.

There is a learning curve with moisture meters.

Captain Driftwood2,

Am I late to the party or is this beautiful kha shing still available?

We watched your video, then my wife made me sign up for the forum to reach out to you after I found this on google.

We are in Clearwater. We are looking. We are interested.

A foam core can get wet, it just doesn't degrade like wood does. The only issue is in a freezing climate you can get expansion and cracking of the gel coat and from there you get more moisture. This moisture is not likely to cause a problem, but it can. This is all my opinion. Boston Whalers are cored with a closed cell foam. Through hulls allow water in. This water freezes and cracks not only the gel coat, but also the thin glass laminate. It is not uncommon for a whaler to gain as much a 10% or more of it hull weight in water. I have never seen a hull failure in a whaler than was not the result of misuse or collision. Foam cores can hold water that can cause cosmetic issues. I'll take it any day over balsa or a standard ply. There is no such thing as a dry whaler from the 80's and before.

This boat has many positives. The most important of which are the new fuel tanks. A single Lehman sure does make for a good bit of room in that very clean engine room. Northern lights get set with low hours- nice. Nice Trawler.
