[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 427089, member: 13599"] [b]"wood is wet underneath and feels heavier than I think it should be"[/b] what feels heavier ?? the wood or the foam ?? That type of foam is about 2 pounds per cubic foot by volume. so, if that piece is 1x1x4' it should weigh anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds. if it is over 10 pounds, I would say replace it with closed cell builders foam. remove the foam block to do the research. that type of foam is used to support floating docks and lasts forever. it is very doubtful that your foam is degraded or waterlogged if it is EPS foam. [b]Edit:[/b] It may also be the wood plank for the seat that is so heavy. solid heart pine is very heavy for its size. redwood and cedar of the same size could be half the weight. just something to explore. .
