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

I was thinking maybe NDT - maybe ultrasound or xray or something.

Is there an rf/microwave type water detector? drill a tiny hole in an
out of the way place and stick a couple of wires down and measure
resistance? dry foam probably very high, wet foam lower.

I also have heard of internal drainage channels being accidently blocked
at the factory by a little piece of something. Is there a path whereby
water is supposed to drain from the front to the back, under the floor?

After all, we are talking about the equivilent of a couple inches of
water over the entire deck area of the boat. maybe a little less.
