Have a 21', center console, fiberglass sport fisher, made in 1972.
Another post mentioned a chemical way of removing foam, and others
mention cutting out the old foam. Cutting doesn't seem practical, the
entire deck would have to have access holes cut all over. Anyone know
what chemical method is available, if any? Many thanks, don. |

Probably be cheaper and easier to get ahold of another old hull, that
is dry. They are all over the place, many with trailers and even
decent motors. Once the foam is soaked, short of a skin strip and
rebuild, the tool (boat) has probably outlived it's time. Like any
tool, maybe if it had been better tended in it's younger years it
might still serve you, but this old boat probably won't. Just my
opinion. |

This also pends on the foam. Urethane will not GID about acetone
IIRC.
However, WTG with effluent would be let it sit till acetone evaporates
and then get rid o remaining "stuff" at the tip...no worse than a
bunch of foam.
