T&T: 1987 Peterborough power cruiser dilemma

[Joyce Colwell]

 Hi Mervyn

Ah, the rot's much more extensive than just in the stringers. The problem is 
that once you start to take things apart, you're almost certainly going to 
find other issues, so where do you stop?

Now you're down to determining if the boat's worth repairing. From your 
first posting, unless you want to do the work yourself - and it's a big, 
ugly job - the answer appears to be negative.

Cheers, Garrett

I agree with Garrett.  We had a moisture problem in our aft cabin and head. 
We are already up to $50,000 and over 10 months with more time and money to 
be spent.  The original estimate was far lower but once the yard really got 
into it, the damage was much more extensive than originally thought.  If you 
don't own the boat yet, my advice would be to keep looking.
