[Rhodes22-list] Foam

[Goodness]

When i dismantled the rotten floor i found a large (2") hole into the foam.  I wondered if anyone had saturation problems from water in the bilge.  I may not know for sure until i weigh it at launch time.  Percussion of the hull doesnt sound like it is dense enough to be waterlogged.
