I am looking at purchasing a 42 Commander 1972. The boat is well-maintained. The hull has no blisters, osmosis or delamination. However, the moisture level varies from medium throughout to high in several places. Is this a dangerous purchase... will it remain at the this same condition? Please share your experiences.

Jeremy hit the nail on the head! The key is WHERE is the moisture readings? If on bottom is it painted? And how long was it out before the readings were taken? Most quality surveyors will use a phenolic hammer to sound areas of concern. If on decks or hatches I just literally posted an article (that soft spot) about this before I saw your post. It will give you some more insight.
