Tom,
With a boat that's been out of the water for that long, I doubt there would
be much moisture in the hull. If you haven't found any other deal breakers,
it is probably time to hire a surveyor. A moisture meter will be more
accurate. The last time I had a boat surveyed, the surveyor did most of his
work with a plastic mallet. It is a good tool when in the hands of a
skilled surveyor.

I'm looking at purchasing a 1980 C&C 40 that has been out of the water for
2 seasons maybe 3. As I understand it, this is a cored hull boat and I'm
trying determine the extent of moisture in the hull.
I've read that taping 6 inch square of plastic freezer bag on the hull in
various locations and leaving it for 24 hours and then reviewing to see if
any moisture has condensed on the interior surface of the plastic. Due to
this boat being out of water for this length of time, will this test be
valid? Anyone familiar with sort of test and whether or not this will
provide any meaningful information?
