Rotted stringers. Great foam!

[1970kayhydro]

This is probably a first.. Talk about a mess, the foam is actually in real good shape. I found about 1/8" wet at the bottom in the middle, maybe a 1/8 cup of water. Thats pretty good for being 38 years old. What kind of foam did they use, life time??

Are you gonna replace the foam anyway? Just to be safe?

I found out it was good by ripping it all out. Took about 2 hours with a pry bar! Im replacing EVERYTHING! All the wood is gone now im grinding the glass down. You can see the progress here..
