well said. And I'd like to add that many cases of water intrusion into the core actually starts at some sort of hole. A screw hole, cleats, chain plates, whatever. Some of which are added by the owner, not the builder. A saturated core on one particular boat is really not a valid reason to suspect ALL boats by a manufacturer (well-craft or any other brand). It would be different if there's a pattern of core saturation in many boats by a particular manufacturer.
