Normal
It did not take much exposure to water, for it to soak in. The boat has a good center channel drain, and was always up on an angled trailer, when not in use. Always with drain plug pulled and most of the time covered. It wold get soaked with passing storms while docked. The bilge would be pumped soon after, thouh. The reused foam was mostly on the starboard side, and it started listing toward that side.
