Hi All,
Well after trolling around this site trying to diagnose my non-planing, "heavy" feel problem, I dug into the boat last night and discovered what guys on here suspected, the foam under the decking is saturated with water. It appears to be mainly the rear deck (Tracker bass boat). I ripped up the carpet and plan on popping the rivets off the aluminum deck to gain full access of the area tonight. It's the 2 part expanding foam, anyone have a creative/easy way to remove it? I was using a filet knife and wonder bar last night and it wasn't going so smoothly. I fear I will cut into wiring, I have never done any restoration work on boats before - Is there anything else I should head caution to?
Thanks,
Gary
