Absolutely it will absorb water, and the open fibers of the glass mat will act like a wick to help pull water deeper into the hull. this is at least part of what is responsible for causing blisters on a hull.. To buy or not to buy . . . . a blistered boat, that is. first, let's understand that all fiberglass hulls absorb water to some degree because both the gel coat finish on the exterior, and the fiberglass reinforced plastic is porous. since water is a solvent, it will react with the plastic resulting in the water and solvents in the plastic. Secondly, that some laminates absorb more water than others, some from the interior and some from the exterior. further, these photos also demonstrate (as we already know) that water migration through a laminate follows the fiber bundles via the capillary effect..

The principles of fiberglass construction, what to look for in buying an older boat and how to assess and repair any damage (published may 2015) there are many types of materials used to build boats these days and have been for a long time—wood, steel, alloy and for a while, ferro cement..
