I decided this holiday weekend to go back to work on my project 13 footer. My plan was to cut the non-skid so i could access the foam and dig out the wet stuff. To be sure she hadn't miraculously dried, i weighted the boat and sure enough she still weighs 400# or than 150# heavier than a bare 13 footer should weigh.

I realized that my plan to dig out the foam while leaving the floor in place has huge issues, not the least of which is how to stabilize the floor when you pull out the foam. OK, that an how to get out the foam? I can basically pulverize the foam with a wire brush chucked into the drill but that will take a long, long time.

Here is my project album so you can catch up on the progress, and see just how wet she is.

I am torn between, cutting out the rest of the floor, removing the foam and trying to get her as light as possible and replacing the foam i have pulled out, sealing up the boat and going boating. Hence the poll.
