	The questions is weather any of the whatever kind of oil got
inside the boat.  How long the exterior was exposed to the 'oil'.
Someone said that the oil eat off the gel coat?
	I am sure that Roger will pipe in with a chemical engineers
evaluation.
	However, exposure to petroleum products does not ruin the
integrity of plastic reinforced fiberglass.  It may permanently affect
the appearance of the finish.
	Take a large magnifying glass and inspect the finish.  
	A core sample would tell if the core got anything in it.  I
guess an analysis of the core sample would be definitive.
	Maybe you should consider a different 32 footer, try this one:

something
other chemical they are calling oil?, it is sounding like

get
into the fiberglass? can you still smell it in the boat
