Boat looks original...I would not replace the deck if it’s solid...the fuel tank platform is made of glassed ply and are usually rotten...the battery boxes in the stern are also usually wood and need replacing. As for the foam I’d leave it if dry...drill a few small test holes down low and check for water. The hull ID will tell you what number boat you have...there are several threads on the subject...search function That one as I forget where in the thred is located. You should not need to raise the deck on a 23...boat in a barn..classic find! Welcome
