Damp rid worked for me, I had a decent hull to start with, and it had access plates cut into to deck for a trolling motor, and I removed the through hulls. Put two big gallon buckets near each major opening, and sealed the top with plastic. Rolled it out in the sun everyday until the condensation inside stopped. Pulled about 14 lbs of water out, and everything was bone dry where we drilled. Works like a charm if you have patience. Took a few weeks. So those who say it doesn't work have no idea what they are talking about...

I've seen so many ways people have tried, including removing the foam and attempting to replace it, the issue is that when it's done, it can not be possible to replicate the curing density and adhesion to the glass, simply because you can't replicate the jig BW used to create these. My way seemed the easiest, most effective way.

I have a large scale drying I've I used on my 9' tender restore, it warped the glass. I wanted straight sides on the black one so it was my only alternative. Good luck.
