So a little update re the electrical issues on Oh Boy.
As suggested by Josh, I bought and figured out (mostly) how to use a
multimeter. I measure (no load and rested) my starter battery (Batt 2) at
12.7 V. Each of the four Trojans in Batt1 bank measured 6.41V.
I was a little gun shy to start ta
I made templates myself from 1/4" material to match my portlights and had a
local company, Annapolis Marine Plastics replicate them. I chose the darkest
color and the new pieces look better than new. Haven't mounted them yet, but I
think dark is the way to go.

The companionway hatch and a cabin "moon roof" on our boat are thicker, maybe
3/8", but I would like it to be double that, like 3/4" so people could stand on
it safely. I'm looking into replacing with 1/2" acrylic and adding some
reinforcement ribs.

Cast acrylic from Laird Plastics in RI. Give them the old ones and they will

Hi Dave, I used 6mm acrylic with a light bronze tint when I did mine this
spring and it matched the original perfectly. It is my understanding that
the UV and scratch resistant polycarbonate get those added properties from
coatings applied to the surface and that these coatings don't last that
long
I measured my portlights as 1/4" thick. I think I bought acrylic (what the
company uses on all the are boats) and had them round the outside edge and buff
it smooth to look like glass.

Wow what a story. One of the appeals of the next gen was the solid

the ‘85 33-2. It was well looked after and the hull and decks are stiff and
solid as new.

No.
Now understand that I'm not saying 100-150 is bad. I'm just not in
agreement that it is undoubtedly a consolation.
IMO The way the surveyor wrote up the anchor locker gave credibility to his
knowledge and skills. If he had no comments about the deck then that would
be a consolation.

Would your opinion change based on the fact that the boat's been on the hard

You can't make anything of it. The meter gives a comparison to the areas
nearby. You could ask the seller to perform the recommended temporary
repair. If there is any moisture you will certainly find it, and rotted

The survey suggested the bottom was wet (199 and anove) with readings from 250
to 450.
Not sure what to make of this in a boat that is almost 35 years old.

For all the data transfers consider using 20 AWG shielded signal wire with
8 conductors. Search for "20/8 marine signal cable" or "22/8 marine signal

I would second guess the surveyor. At least dig a little deeper and
determine what his indicators are. Moisture meters are broad go/no-go
tests that help focus one's attention. They can easily indicate the
presence of moisture as a result of water in the bilge, or even places
where a wet rope wa

elsewhere, so worth a careful survey

I can speak to the balsa core issue. The 34 is cored below the waterline,
and the boat should be hauled for a hull survey with a moisture meter. My 1978
34 had a problem and was repaired by a prior owner. My 1976 42 also has the
same problem. Do not buy the boat until this issue

Your concern of moisture penetration and delamination is what a good surveyor
is for.
The engine is a different issue. Most surveyors will only check that the
