34ft Marine Trader Trawler

Continuing with my purchase of the 34ft Marine Trader we have discovered that the trawler used concrete as ballast. Is this a problem? I understand that the concrete, once wet, will retain water, expand during the winter storage and cause damage. A boat that we looked at, installed a drain plug to help the situation.


Do all 34ft or 36ft. trawlers build during the 80's use concrete as ballast?


Thanks for all of your help
