I'm going to look at an older 17' Katama, that's several hours away.
Engine is not working.
My only concern is water in the hull, since it's an older hull.
Would a MOISTURE METER work in determining if it's water logged in places?
Should I request if be placed in the water, to see how it sits in the water? If so, how deep should the stern go down? Should I stand on the extreme corner of the stern and measure freeboard? How much should I expect to measure?
