I've got a 1970 Mirrocraft Ski-N-Troll that the transom was completely rotted out of. Bought this boat with a Merc 50HP on an EZ Loader trailer for $750.00 knowing it needed a little work.
So I've got the transom out and everything is going good there. The deck was replaced at some point and pressure treated wood was used.
I also noticed it looks like I've got TONS of water under the deck being trapped by foam so I thought I'd get all of that taken care of while I've got the splashwell and part of the gunwalls ripped down.
So this foam stuff under the deck, I can't explain it but it has a very odd texture to it like its suppose to be like this, like it's suppose to hold water?
I pulled up a small section of wood under the splashwell area so I could get a better look.
What am I looking at here?
I'm worried that if I pull up all the wood and remove whatever this foam is the boat is not going to be as solid on the water as it is right now but at the same time I assume water isn't suppose to be in there? Right now two adult people can get up and walk around in the boat and it basically doesn't move in the water.
