Link doesn't work for me, but you're right. You'd think a reputable builder would know that under all that wet foam they've been putting in boats for flotation is wet wood. I mean, don't they realize how the foam got wet in the first place? The wood did it, it's always the wood's fault.

I have an all composite (except the wood dashboard) Allison but I assume Skater builds a good boat.
