What would I be looking for exactly? Corrosion? My luck, I'd cause a leak ;) There is no smell of gasoline ( yet ) so I'm inclined to not dig around too much. However, I don't like the foam being there. Dangit, now what do I do?

Well your right! If you start digging you might end up with a season stopping problem??

If there is no gas smell then just finish the hatch, and fish, But this fall remove the hatch and cover for winter to dry out the foam and plan on it being a winter project!

But its something that needs to be done! Don't let it go to long!!

One question. with the wood coming within an inch of the edge, will the hatch go back in place? Pretty sure it will, but check it before you glass it in.

There is a 1" lip all the way around the deck (see it in the pic), That's why I went with a 1" gap. Keep in mind, that the gap will be larger by the time the edge gets to the lip (angled cut). It looks like the edge of the cover just rests on the lip. I should have plenty of room. I could just sink some screws into the screw holes for the access covers and set it in place before glassing just to make sure. Thanks guys.

Just out of curiosity, how much will the completed project cost you?
