New Boat owner

[blowitup]

I bought it from a guy in St Paul Minnesota. Supposedly it sat in the rafter storage and then soild new in 1996. In 1987 supposedly the Canada maker broke the Hydrostream contract and started building tunnel hulls instead. This the story i got. The gel coat is beautiful. The floor, transom are solid. How do i check the core under the floor without taking floor up. Now you got me worried. This thing runs like a dream.

I would pull rear eye lite off and look at transom for "wetness"and also borrow bore scope and look through drain plug for the same.That's about all the piece of mind you will get without tearing out the floor.

While it's a terrible shame to have to cut into such a pristine boat, you MUST find out. The results of delamination are just too dire, loss of hull, serious injury, death.

If, by chance, the thing happens to rip off the bottom, how stupid do we look for not urging an inspection?

There may be an open area at the rear of the floor that would allow you to sample some core material in the pad. Needs to be checked in the pad, because that's always the wettest area.
