.........pounds bare hull- would ya give it a shot of drying out?

got the boat, spars and new style rudder for 50 bucks so all isn't lost if the boat is a planter....

this is gonna be a non race boat- it's a spare for when folks want to sail along - that said, how heavy is too heavy for a "guest" boat.....

Thanks in advance,

Scott

Re: 160 pound bare hull - would ya give it a shot of drying out?

Only 20 lbs overweight..., why not.

Do a leak test..., that water snuck in there some way.

I might even sail it in the process if the leaks aren't bad.

ya Wayne, that's what I was thinking too......

I know where the water is from- the splashguard wobbles when you touch it, , the clowns I bought it from kept it propped along a wall with the drain plug facing the sky!!!

So we have here about five years of rain water secured nicely in the port side hull- just invading the foam each and every day!!!

Been through a "minor" drying out with two other SF- but nothing this dramatic..
