"It seems like it turns a "bargain" into a nightmare. You spend lots of hours, money, stress to try to fix the problem, and for most of us, it would look horrible when we finish. Maybe, smaller/newer vs. older/larger boat when shopping for a boat would make sense to minimize these problems."
A lot of bad assumptions here. One, the boat in question was purchased last year and the problem revealed in the survey. Agreed on selling price was adjusted downward to reflect the cost of repair. Two- This job is being done professionally. It is being done right and the problem won't be an issue in the future. Three. The job is costing $2800 which was covered in the purchase price reduction.. Four- your assumption that newer and/or smaller boats won't have delamination problems is flawed. I know of numerous 10 year old boats with core problems due to shoddy manufacturing and design processes. It happens. Foam cores have problems too if you get water penetration. Five- the only stress I have had so far is getting enough light to take the pictures.
