Does anyone have any experience with a system called DRYBOAT? I was talking to a surveyor who said it has been around for a while and it can be an alternative to cutting out and replacing for wet balsa coring and stringers
no experience...but worth pursuing...new tech like this may be the answer for old tech problems...
skeptics included....I would wait before I spent a lot of money on some process like this...but after one or two successful jobs the result should be pretty evident in short order....just have to research and follow-up.
I When the boat was splashed again the surveyor said the hull should be good for another 30 years.
So, as suggested, I did the research and here is my follow-up:
Posted this question on other forums and ended up using system on my stringers. For those interested, this recent thread on THT is pretty informative:
Looking for Pursuit Boat owners with balsa core damage from water infiltration. - Page 5 - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum
Does not the presumed success of Dry Boat assume a diligent owner has fixed the original reason for wet soggy stringers and core?
I'm kickstarting this old thread instead of starting a new one - any new news on Dryboat? I'm looking at a non trawler (sorry) as my FIRST boat purchase to see if i get into this enough to do a large spend - and the little gal i like has moisture but no rot in the stringers. Pricewise, i may be able to get a substantial deal due to this - and its still cheap eough to almost consider a use/have fun and dispose in a few years (there is NO current rot)
So, any new ideas on Dryboat and AM I CRAZY?
How does a potential boat buyer find out if a boat has a cored hull below the waterline?
