[Public-List] Hull thickness question

[Mike Lehman]

Gord,

The highest accolade is having a surveyor inspect your boat, then falling in 
love with Alberg 30s, and then buying one. This just happened...the guy that 
surveyed my in May could not get the boat out of his mind, he was so 
impressed at how well it was built, and last week he bought John 
Maleszwski's Alberg #262. That says a lot about the boat.

When I installed my Tempo saddle tank in SURPRISE, I shot expanding foam
into a plastic bag I had arranged behind the tank.  The bag inhibited the
curing of the foam, which caused me concern that it wasn't going to kick off
(it eventually did) but the result was that the foam was in the bag, which I
hope will inhibit the absorption of water.

The rest was similar to what Pete described below.  When the boat had her
five-year survey the surveyor grunted with approval, which I reckon is
highest accolade one can expect from someone in that trade.
