Very helpful — thank you. They’re claiming delamination. No idea on the tools used but I like those talking points and will ask.
The whole thing seems a bit squishy to me (pardon the pun). Surveyor says a 4x4 section delaminated, got wet repeatedly, and even likely froze several times. To your point, I can’t imagine that’s not hard to ascertain without better evidence. The real kicker is then a fiberglass guy got onboard to look at it and says it’s a 2x12 section. That’s like the entire foredeck!? There’s also quite a difference between 4x4 and 2x12.
Of course every repair option seems to be blowing up the top/front of the boat and rebuilding. No one even considered trying to do the work from underneath when I asked. Plus, I find it VERY hard to believe this is all going on yet I feel NO softness whatsoever walking around up there. Solid as a rock.
