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
class of trailer sailboat.


Would it then be time to either replace the foam, or the boat itself?


Replace the foam is an option.

Replacing the boat is always an option.

Removing the foam isn't an option. :)
