Neither, try my method. Since you have the floor open, its perfect time and its CHEAP.

Buy three or four 64oz cans of Damp Rid, a large plastic sheet (drop cloth) and high quality masking tape. Seal the open containers in like this:

MAKE SURE THE SYSTEM IS AIRTIGHT AND CHECK IT OFTEN, ADDING TAPE, etc.

Roll out into Sun as often as you can, until you stop seeing condensation form on this inside edges, particularly near the edges. Three weeks should do it. If you over dry, the gelcoat will feel strange, but no worries the humidity in the air will bring it back to normal in a few days. I successfully dried all of my Whaler hulls this way. I think is cost me $60.00. This method made my Black 15 "bone dry" as I was trying to make the hull as light as possible.
