Hey all, I am considering looking at some glass boats and am wondering what to watch out for. I am aware of Osmosis but am not sure of the best way to look for it. Obviously on deck areas I can check by walking on it but what about other areas?
Also what are other things to look for? Are there some things that typically can occur on glass boats that I need to look for?
Any info is as always appreciated.

Osmosis is something more associated with a moored boat than a trailer boat, what is of most concern is wood rot (yes, lots of wood in most fiberglass boats).

Plenty more experienced people on here to give you advice.

I would start by getting hold of a book called "secondhand boat secrets" by Jeff Webster, plenty of good info in that one.

Once you narrow down your search and do your checks, then get a pro to check it out.

Hope that helps
