My GUESS is they're there as stiffeners for the hull sides. But...That's JUST a guess. NO EXPERIENCE in that remark!!!!:nono:

The gap may have been a "pre" type foam that deteriorated for one reason or another. All in all put the little piggies back better than they were. Cause thats what we do!

You really weighed it? That's great to know. Can you weigh your dry one before it goes in? Just under 8'...sweet!
