Leave the dry ones alone. You might be able to dry out the wet without removing. Drill some limber holes and let it wick out. The center is PVC not structural so leave it alone.

Ok thanks for the info. There is no water coming out of any of the test holes. The foam I pulled out in the bottom one-inch of the stringers (where I drilled test holes) is damp in places- like if you push on it with your finger you can see water seeping. The foam from about one inch and up to the top of the stringer is dry. Maybe I dont need to replace the foam...

Greetings guys
I will be following this boat progress very closely bc selfishly it’s what I own. Ha. This is exactly what was done to my boat to the T. I do have a few questions so far.
1) I didn’t think that these boats had a coffin box that the tank sat in. This one looks like it did before you removed it. Did you notice if it had a factory drain hole in it for unwanted water or fuel to get out?
2) capt chuck, what are you referring to about the PVC in center stringer. I’m interested about that.

I would definitely raise the floor and put drains out the side. That’s what mine has and it works pretty good but I leave mine plugged until I get a rain storm or need to drain a cooler.


Keep up the good work. Sorry I’m not much help.

Thanks
