[QUOTE="scbasschaser, post: 230251, member: 7182"] I'm trying to finish a boat project that was about 90% complete and on the final section of rear compartment. The wood floor was rotting under the gas/batter area and after a few pulls, everything was completely rotted and packed with years of sludge. After lots of beach/spic-n-span, it looks much better with a few spots to go. Here is where I'm stuck, what is the next prep steps, type of foam (where to buy) and best wood choice to use. One of the problems is the clearance is very small and needed to come out to accommodate a larger batter and gas tank. Some concerns is the corrosion that appears around the edges, should I be concerned with this. Second, the three vented slots are not connected and can trap rain water and such, the middle rail is the drain for the center of the boat but is not connected to a pump or drain plug. How to remove this trapped water from these areas? Any help on type of foam, glues, thin woods, waterproofing, etc. would be much appreciated [/QUOTE]
