I am posting on redoing this boat in another thread but thought this might be a good one to do a separate one. I bought this boat last year and it was used as a golf cart motored reservoir rig for many years. The rear area was boxed in and used as a battery storage area. The whole interior of the box was carpeted just like most of the boat was. I am going to guess from these pictures that they were charged in place many times.
My question is what would you do to limit the damage here? I plan on washing this very well with baking soda and water. Then maybe a skim of body filler to get it flat again. This is the inside skin on my Ouachita and between this area and the outside hull is filled with flotation. Any other suggestions?
Here are the pictures, missed putting them in the first time. The other side is fine and the bottom of the hull looks ok but will still get baking soda and water scrub.
