I have a fiberglass Tuffy and the inside sides I believe are foam filled. I put some drain holes in the lower rear section and one side had some water in it, the other did not. Boat still sits level in the water. How do I make sure foam is not water logged? The foam is enclosed inside fiberglass, yet a few holes are in the fiberglass from previous owners installing fish finders and other stuff.
And if it is, would it matter if I removed it since waterlogged foam doesn't float? If I would have to remove it, I would like to make it into more usable space and install some foam and then also add some storage, and with the wood frame that might make up for lack of foam in some spots. I would not be using fiberglass for the casing though since I suck at glass work, it would be wood frame with plywood to cover it all.
Hoping to hear everybody's thoughts regarding this. I know it is not a tin boat, yet it is the current project at the moment. After this one is done, the tin boat is next on the list.
