Yes, wood. I'm a classic boat kinda guy with both eyes wide open and plan to go the full Monty before cash moves from me to them.
Anyway, location is Tampa/St. Pete and anybody with knowledge of, or experience with a surveyor that has the appropriate credentials please reply or PM me.
The boat is a jewel or not, I need to find out. I have another fellow ( local ) that is a care taker of a pristine woodie that he has overseen since new. He is well respected. I still need a " professional " opinion.
Also doing a full corrosion survey as well as electrical.
Wood boats do not really like salt water. Bonding systems on wood may contribute to a process called alkali delignification - as quoted from a previous survey. In lay terms the galvanic action taking place in the bonding system creates a alkaline that interacts with the wood.
The above is exactly why I'm posting this .......
So....any suggestions would be most appreciated.
