Looking at used GW Marlin 300’s and Express 330’s. I just paid $1k for a marine survey on a nice looking Marlin 30 nay to learn the balsa hull cores were badly delaminated and what wasn’t already delaminated pegged the moisture meter. The surveyor and the repair shop I went to for a repair estimate advised me to stay away from balsa cored GW’s, but they weren’t sure when GW stopped using it. I was told the 2005’s we’re a safe bet, but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure? The repair shop told me to buy my own moisture meter and only consider boats that don’t peg the meter.
