[QUOTE="thill, post: 516894, member: 4972"] Some boats have open cell foam. IF in a truly dry place, it will dry out after a month or two. Some boats have closed cell foam, but they cut the top of it flat before installing the decking. That foam will catch water and it takes a VERY long time to dry out, like years. Some boats have really good, uncut closed cell foam, and even after a situation like yours, it won't get waterlogged. I have had all three, but don't know what yours is like. Store it with the nose up high and see if it continues to drip. Maybe it's okay. If I bought it back, It would be for a discount that covers your original sales effort plus pulling the floor and replacing the foam, which I would guess would be $3k or more, but this is business for me, so your situation may be different.
