Teak decks look great but maintenance and water intrusion issues are real and expensive. He wins this one. The Bulwarks are structural safe and practical, one of the strongest hull deck joints out there. Don't worry about the drainage rest assured they have that worked out. You win this one. Sinks (I prefer to call it a basin) simply drain (usually) straight down to the water line, there is nothing g serious here, maybe the thru hull was just closed. T37 is a real good Boat, I would go with the one with fewer problems and the deck core could be wet on either one or any out there for that matter. Its all about condition on any used Boat. Learn to inspect yourself first then always hire a surveyor after prechecking so you don't hire too many surveyors to look at boats that aren't worth buying.

HCs are beautiful traditional Boats, Others will advise but check the deck real carefully, its kind of like running aground, there's only two kinds of Teak decks the one that leaks and the one that isn't leaking yet. Great ocean Boats for sure..

Check the "My boat needs anew cockpit" thread its an interesting read. He makes it look easy and its NOT by along shot, truly beautiful work. There's a reality to Boats with a lot of wood that needs to be taken seriously.
