I had a significant amount of water in the boat this year due to a pip busting (Y Pipe). Since repaired. I have gotten all the "wet stuff" out as best I can. What should I do from here? I don't want Mold to grow under the deck where the storage is.

Here's my thoughts.
1. Rove all items from storage and let air out and dry out
2. supply fans to blow air out and around?

Should I treat it with something? The above link has some type of "powered" device.

I also have red posts about stringers getting rotted out and etc. I would like to prevent that. I have no soft spots on the floors that I can tell.

Thoughts?

I wanted to add that I know there are Buckets of stuff out there as well. They are filled with material (cilica jel?) that supposidly removes moisture.

I could see that first one working under a boat cover.

The other stuff is called Damp-Rid i think.
I get it at Walmart and it does a good job removing moisture when the boat is covered.No mildew problems at all and i live in a humid climate.
