As I recall you have had this boat for a number of years and have tried the drip method without success. You have close to 20 gallons of water in the foam, no way it will never dry out. So cut up the floor and pull the foam out, Cut the wet foam with a handsaw in small sections and use whatever is neccesary to clean out the foam. Probably a wide 6" chisle used for concrete will work. I would enjoy reading ritzy's method of replacing the floor. Its been done before, but the boat will never be worth what an original dry one is simply becuase you can buy a good dry 250# 13 footer for less than a grand.
