    I often dreamed of cutting a SF down to a fat CC or open express.
    But if it is full termites, It can't come near any yard or dock around here.

    I walked away from a 70’er in San Diego years ago because I found thousands of termites on board. I brought mine up from Long Beach and found a smartest in mine. Fortunately I found and killed them quickly.

    I had no idea you could get termites on a fiberglass boat. Evidently they have enough wood in them to make them attractive to termites?

    Had termites on my 34 and had to have it tented in the water. Bought a 46 Bertram that had termite damage. To a certain point you kill them and the boat is fine. If too much damage then most boats are done for good.
