[QUOTE="Prowelder, post: 428770, member: 20426"] Update. This spray foam is a *****. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to use this stuff should be hit with the bus driver uppercut! If anybody out there has ever restored one of these boats or knows how to tear the back deck apart and remove everything from the gas tank to the steering console I greatly appreciate the knowledge. I'm honestly thinking of completely gutting this boat and Welding the seam down the middle completely and all the rivets. This will delay process dramatically, but I plan on keeping this one for a long time. The plan was to just fix the leak enough to get me through til next winter but now that I'm tearing this thing apart I can't help but want to do it the right way. I have already removed all of the foam from the front deck and started removing some from the back deck I guarantee you I have removed over a hundred pounds of wet moldy foam. Fishing season is coming quickly and if I have to I will buy 200 feet of extension cord to run my battery maintainers and let the billage run all night while it's in the water at our lake house but I still have a good four weeks and I love a challenge.
