Default More on weight issues.

So what do you figure are your other options for finding out if the foam is
waterlogged or not?

I suggest you drill some test holes in the floor. It's no big deal. Use
a
1/4 bit and go into the foam and see what it pulls up. Fill them with
epoxy
mixed with filler like micro balloons or chopped glass. If you only want
to
buy a small quantity of materials go to a local hobby shop. They sell
small
quantities of all that stuff. You can debate this all you want but you
won't know if it's water logged or not until you drill into it.


True, but I ain't drilling holes in that boat until ilt's absoutely
necessary.

You can be as cavalier about my boat as you want, but it's my boat and
there ain't no way I'm going to drill holes on purpose on a perfectly
maintained boat just to find something out.

I'll exhaust all other options before we get to that.
