One of the things I like about using noodles is they don't fill the entire space, it allows air to move freely around them, I don't care what you do, water is going to go where you don't want it, I put drain holes in each compartment that feeds to the bilge. if you get water in an area, it will drain to the bilge and not puddle in any compartment. The air moving around the noodle tend to dry it out. The V's have more than enough glass in the hull, they aren't using foam for any structural use. After owning two McKee's, and working on at least 100 Whalers, Scout's and McKee's over the years, foam construction ins't the best idea for combining with wood structure. I haven't seen a foamed boat yet that didn't have some water in the hull, that includes brand new ones that haven't even been put in the water
