Re: Checking water logged float foam
Just to add some additional comments . . .
You will want to investigate and understand the structure of the boat. Then, as stated, drill some holes low in the structure, near where stringers and bulkheads meet the hull. The problem with trying to check the foam is that is it within the structure, so no easy access. If you mess up and drill a hole in the hull, that would be a really bad thing. . . .
The key is drill your test holes low in the structure, because that is where the water (if any) will reside. Fuel tank bays tend to trap water as many do not have any drainage. Of course you have to be careful about drilling into a fuel tank bay . . . got to know where the fuel tank is and if you have clearance, etc.
