I do not want to remove it if it serves a useful purpose.

It's called flotation and is what keeps the boat on the surface if it
should become swamped.

Do not remove it.

Unless it's the old type that became waterlogged...which is common on my

Even with water, it will help keep the boat afloat.

It goes without saying that if it is waterlogged, then by all means
replace it, but don't remove it.
