It's impossible to tell from your picture. Apparently some hulls can weep water. Personally, I would give the inside of the hull, under the waterline, a coating of epoxy resin. This would insure that any water that would weep thru the hull would be stopped. Any cracks and this technique would do no good.

It's called replace the foam time. <br />The stain is just water that picked up something before it got to your foam. Dude your not delaminating yet! Besure to seal the foamed in area real well. That way the foam should not get wet.

Just let it dry before you go to work on it!Grind all spots that you are planning on glassing,wipe it down with some acetone before glassing too!<br />Forgot to ask,any bubbles in the gelcoat?
