[QUOTE="DaveInGA, post: 276749, member: 166"] I believe I'd flush that acid off with some water just to make sure you aren't leaving a residue to eat into your boat. You can replace the water logged foam with the blue or pink insulation board from the big box hardware stores. It's closed cell, won't absorb water and because of it's shape, it's easy for you to cut and shape to your boat. I would strongly advise doing this so you'll have some flotation in your boat if you get swamped and swamping does happen. Seen it here on the big lakes in Georgia. Not a pretty sight. Foam kept one guy's boat from going to the bottom in about 100 feet of water. He lost some stuff, but was able to remove the boat and most of his gear with help from other fishermen in the area. You don't want a boat you've put a ton of work into sink to the bottom of a lake or river and lose everything. [/QUOTE]
