Hello,
After 52 years i got my dream boat. But the dream boat turn into a nightmare. I heard about waterlogged whalers and i have one of them. After weighting the boat front & back on a scale that had a capacity of 220# it peg out on both front and back. I look up every story about how to get the water out without ripping the foam out. I drill 1/4 in. holes a foot apart in the deck and only drips out if the temperature above 60ish degree. I have the boat flip over and try jacking the front and back up and level but drips about the same. I would think it would someday dry if it get hot enough. Should i drill holes in the hull also?Anyone had any success in this process? Any suggestion that work for you? Thank You

Sell it telling everyone it is a waterlogged hull and move on.

It may dry out when you are 150 years old but probably not even then.
