I have some ants living in my cuddy somewhere but no termites. Keep your eye out for a hull with blown engine and swap your engine out. If you look long enough I bet you can find one cheap.

I saw ants in my V years ago, I just threw roach bombs in there when I covered for winter, they all dead! I use to put them in every winter after that.
Now you have me thinking, I have never did it to the Ox, but Its not under trees like the V was.I going to do it this year now that you brought it up!

Well Ill be heading down there to see it this weekend to get a better look at the damage. Unfortunately the only place I have to keep it is right under a tree without a cover. Im sure that is how they got in there in the first place. If I think it is to bad, its going up for sale. It will be a good boat for someone with some time to fixer up or part it out since mechanically its fine. I already have another V20 with a better hull but I was saving it for when I can afford a better motor that the little 86 100hp evinrude on the 81. I might just have to compermise though. Ill keep yall updated.

I'd just swap your motor over to the other boat until you find a new motor. Selling the motor on a bad boat will also drop the value of the motor along with the drop in value of the hull.

Wait a minute, Can termites chew through fiberglass? I dont see how, you would think the only termite damage would be wood that is not covered in glass, am I correct?

I saw an entire herd of wildabeasts charging through my V21 last week.
I stood there and said " you gotta be kidding me ".......... Checking for damage after the stampede, it was just dirty. Termite solutions: 1. pesticide in spray bottle 2. torch the entire boat 3. submerge the entire boat long enough to drown them out 4. none of the above Sorry about that -- that's sad to read. Wood and boats, not good.
