First, an interesting article on moisture meters: http://www.pcmarinesurveys.com/Moisture%20meter%20mythology.htm
Second, piggybacking on Jeffrey's post, I have a Klein ET140 https://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-ET140-Non-Destructive-Detection/dp/B07SZX8QXH I have been using it extensively the past few weeks. It seems to work well. (Our house flooded after getting 12 inches of rain in 2 hours last month. We had 16 inches of water in the house. The Admiral and I had been talking about some major renovations. Now we're doing them. It's really curtailed my sailing this summer.) Anyway, the Klein is not calibrated for fiberglass. However, if you are just looking for relative readings, it should work okay. -- Dennis C.
