Boat shopping this off-season and considering a 2870. Most likely a 96-2002 ish walkaround with 2 strokes (budget around 30k).
I like the 2870. What can you all tell me about how the hull is constructed and what to look for? Wood stringers, cored sides, etc??
Thanks

Hull Construction and things to look for - 2870
I have a 99 30 Express. Solid boat but, I just had the coring under the foredeck replaced due to poor sealing of the windlass. Get a moisture meter and check around all hull penetrations. This is a common problem with all modern cored boats using balsa coring. We almost bought a 38 08 Rampage last fall, fresh water 350 hours. It had at least 4 good sized spots with water in the core.
