I hate having the foam in there, no mater how tight the boat water always makes its way to the foam and with all that water just sitting there its a recipe for rot the v20s of the 70s had very little foam,, todays boats are loaded with it, i would rather have wide open stringgers ,,bulkheads etc. so the air can freeflow throw and keep everything dry thats y i am going to rip out as much of the water soaked foam as i can and not replace it..I dont think it has any structural benefit except for reduceing sound ..if i were to sink i think the water soaked foam would take me down faster or maybe not

I would bet that if you pulled your boat to Arizona and left it out in the desert for the summer, it would dry out.
I know it sounds crazy, but it is really dry out there.

go to sherwin williams or any paint store and get some elastomeric paint and mop this over the foam if you can reach it all and this will protect your foam from moisture intrusion and uv breakdown
