As for a moisture test, you have to remember this boat is 30 years old. If it was stored outside for any length of time, I can tell you there is moisture in the boat for sure. How much and where is also easy to know, any place where they used wood like the transom, stringers, bulkhead and of course the flooring. So it you want to save the money, you can drill some ~1/4" or so inspection holes in those places and see if you get dry light colored shavings out. If so, fill in the holes with some epoxy, polyester resins or 3M 5200 sealant and happy boating. If you get dark wet shavings, you have rot and water issues that certainly needs to be repaired before boating anymore. Drill as close to the bottom of the transom and stringers for those test holes. And of course from the inside of the boat and not all the way through...just enough to see the shavings. JMHO
