Defects and Damage
If osmosis is found, should I walk away from the boat?
Osmosis is a class of defect, not a verdict. Limited surface blistering is a maintenance item that can be priced into the negotiation; widespread laminate-deep osmosis is major work requiring months of drying.
Why it works this way
What makes the decision possible is having that distinction measured — extent, depth and moisture distribution reported separately rather than summarised as "osmosis present".
