I'm trying to find out if this is just isolated to my boat or it it was a design flaw. I found dry rot in a stringer that you can see on the starboard side in the aft cabin, when you open up the compartment under the bed. After I found this, I had the boat surveyed and as far as he could tell, it's isolated to this one area. I would like to know if this is a problem with this model of boat. I noticed it when unloading for the winter. It's a compartment that I never use and you really have to be looking to see it, because what I saw was just a few cracks in the grey paint and thought that looked odd. I barely touched it and it started to crumble. It's very dry with no signs of water at all. I have no idea what something like this would cost to be fixed or how it would get fixed. Would anyone have a rough guess or should I be in the market for a trade? I really have far too much money in this boat for that to be my first option.
Sadler, are you still out there? I'd really like to know how yours looks.
