    On our FRP club boats I’m struggling to find the ply reinforcement eg looking under the thwarts I can’t see any ply…

    I wanted to find it so I can familiarise myself with the reinforcing ply locations ready to check it on prospective purchases.

    Any advice or pictures welcomed to help finding the ply locations ?

    Thank you all again for the pointers.

    How do I recognise the defective or rotten ply ?

    Colour ? Soft to touch ? Crumbling ?

    Is it easy to “see” all the likely suspect wood ?

    It is more of a minefield than I thought buying a GP 🙁

    Many thanks for the comprehensive replies. I think I’ll pass on this boat.

    I wanted a FRP to try to avoid a lot of maintenance…
