My boat is 25 yrs old , going to change the scrubbers this spring the rest of the hoses every five years. Have been caring corks to plug the hole if they give out. They are not easy to get to in the Marlin so have been neglectful. If they are cracking I would replace.

I have been hearing some talk of termites eating away hulls is this just a warm tropical issue??

I just do not see many production hulls last over 15 yrs where a nonproduction hull seems to last as long as you want to maintain it. My hull is 25 yrs old with no cracks and a good shine the gell does have a couple bubbles. As far as new vrs old, any boat over 8 yrs old used in salt will need...

Have a 91 marlin, hull looks to be a five year old boat. To my knowledge this is not a problem I have heard of. Anything will fall apart if not taken care of. Actually Old Grady and whaler seem to with stand time better than most other boats I have come across. IMO They also hold there value...

Thought of that but 20 gallons on a 35 gallon tank stored full?

Ron I agree with you that the boat ect coverage is good. And that old electronics really do not have a value though they seem to of depreciated 40% based on what comp units are selling for on ebay. When they sell you a policy the underwriter should inform you of this. Instead of stating all...
