Okay here you mention topsides are you talking about the deck? If so the decks of these boats have had issues with improper bedding of the teak. If the teak has been remove like many this age have, usually that's a sign the previous owner took care of this known issue. Now if you are talking about the hull sides they shouldn't show signs of elevated moisture or you may have a bigger problem?
It's not clear to me if your talking about the hull or the topsides which I call decks?
