The Tramex Skipper 5 Moisture Meter is a professional-grade, non-destructive dual-depth moisture meter designed specifically for marine applications. This advanced tool allows for the instant detection of excess moisture in GRP boat hulls, decks, and coach roofs, including sandwich or cored structures, helping you identify potential problems before they escalate.
With its dual-depth measurement capabilities, the Skipper 5 can assess both shallow (up to 10mm) and deep (up to 30mm) moisture levels. This allows for more precise diagnostics of where moisture is located within composite materials, making it easier to determine whether the issue is on the surface or deeper within the core.
The Skipper 5 seamlessly connects to the Tramex Meters App via Bluetooth, enabling users to visualize moisture readings, create moisture maps, document test data with GeoTag functionality, and generate professional reports with charts and embedded photos.

Nice unit. Time will tell.
Unit seems well made. I am a 40 year liveaboard, not a surveyor. Bought this for preventative maintenance. Have not had it long enough to properly evaluate, so the stars are irrelevant. Ask me in a year or two... or three.
