Can you get any pics of the worm and caulking areas marylan (96) • 3:45 pm, Wed, 7 Jan
T
I would highly recommend making a time to come and view, photos don't show much at all. Caulking needs looking at in many places over the whole underwater areas totsmarine (3) • Wednesday, 7 January 2026

Is she currently water tight tg16 (364) • 5:47 pm, Wed, 7 Jan
T
She could go back in the water as is but currently leaks (not to badly, pumps keep up). I personally would sort caulking out while she is out totsmarine (3) • Wednesday, 7 January 2026
