Moisture Meter......

Post by Oscar »

Yes I did a search, didn't find a dedicated thread.

Is there a weapon of choice? What to look for? How much to spend at a minimum to rise above the "useless tool" level.

Any help would be appreciated.....

Oh yes, I'll be "aiming" it at a approximately 3/8 total thickness balsa cored fiberglass hull. (Floats of my tri pictured at left.....)

Gots to delineate the wet spots.

I picked up a CT33 after finding a good review online.

Here's an example, http://www.noahsboatbuilding.com/noahus ... 33&eq=&Tp=

Money well spent. I've been boat shopping and it's been invaluable.

That's exactly what convinced me to purchase the meter.

Thank you for the excellent evaluation.
