Rob Massa, thanks very much for your response. From my research, I believe the Morgan 382 is plywood. I assume that the properties of plywood would be similar to balsa, but I am not sure. Since I don't own the boat yet, I can't go digging around in her deck to see if it's rotted.
I'm still waiting on my survey (the surveyor will give me the moisture readings), so I will likely have to make a decision based on those.
