I have a 1978 Sturey 14' with a 55 HP Chrysler outboard. I have removed the water soaked rotten floor. The stringers are fine (solid / not wet). However, the foam is water soaked. First, can I remove the foam and just leave it out? What would I need it for? Or, if I have to replace it, what should I use? Finaly, is there a way to dry the existing foam? I really hope to just remove it and leave it out. Let me know the pro's and con's of doing this.<br /><br />Thanks for the help!
