To kill the termites.. Open all doors and hatches on your boat. Tent the entire boat... (top, bottom, sides, etc) so that it is as near to airtight as possible. Leave an access port that you can get into and then seal after you leave. Go to an old fashioned hardware store or greenhouse supply company and buy a sulpher bug bomb/insecticide fogger. (The kind you light, not the areosol kind). Take a pie pan and fill the bottom with sand, place the bug bomb on the sand, place the plate on your boats cockpit deck, hold your breath, light the bomb, get out of the boat fast, seal the open port and go have a beer (or more). Come back no less than 10 hours later. Open the port, let the boat air out of the fumes. Untent the boat. All your termites will be dead. You may have to do this a few times a week apart because of termite eggs, but it will kill anything living in your boat... guarenteed. Don't play around with this, the sulpher fumes are deadly to any living thing, insects included. This is how greenhouses get rid of aphids, fungus gnats, mites, whiteflies and other bugs that are eating/killing the plants and flowers they grow. It WILL leave a light yellow powder on most surfaces that you can just hose off.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
