[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 419003, member: 11641"] We fish the white bass spawn every winter on the Sabine River here in Texas. Two of my buddies run 15' and 16' jons, Alumacraft and G3 respectively, and both of their boats condense moisture like crazy on days that the conditions are right. I assume mine does too, but my Xpress has full decks and floor so I can't see it forming on the inside of the hull. I know there's flotation under all of it so I can only assume that mine is at least slowly taking on moisture. It highly unlikely that we'd be able to seal a compartment off to where no moisture intrusion could take place so I think fighting with condensation would be a futile effort. I see it as the cost of doing business. My two buddies run smaller rigs than I, but they have the advantage of accessing their foam much easier than I can. When the time comes dealing with mine will be a PITA. [/QUOTE]
