Is the hull on this boat cored or solid glass? If cored, what sort of core material.

During a survey today, we found a soft spot on the starboard side above the waterline, just below the lower helm station. As this is a solid fiberglass hull....no core, I believe, I am concerned.

The area is roughly 36" square and I can flex the hull in a few millimetres with thumb pressure.

On the port side, back near the transom and below the waterline, the moisture meter spiked along a 25-30" strip, maybe 6" high.

At this point, I stopped the survey, believing that the boat was likely hit at some point on the starboard side and water has penetrated at the transom.

I would value your thoughts.

We can all speculate as to what is going on with your hull. The best way to get answers would be to call Fluid Motion with your hull number (HIN). The representatives should be able to give you the build information. After getting the build information you can go from there. I would try to get access to the areas in question from the inside. That will help tell the story. A good Glass repair facility would be your next place to get advise.
