[QUOTE="jigngrub, post: 352684, member: 6657"] Removing that foam and the transom and the pressure treated decking will be the best 3 things you can do for that boat. That foam is holding hundreds of pounds of water weight that's slowing down your boat, saturated foam also loses it's buoyancy and won't float your boat in an emergency. That pressure treated decking has chemicals in it that corrode aluminum. You can easily replace your foam with the rigid polystyrene sheet foam insulation (pink or blue), and it's much more water resistant than that old junk you have in your boat. [/QUOTE]
