I have a 14' fiberglass v hull boat. it seems to be hollow between the floor and hull but there may be foam in there. how do you check for a waterlogged condition in the foam ?????? and are there any remadies for this ????

P.S. its a 1975 Olympic and the floor is fiberglass also, moulded to the hull.

If it is wet underneath i bet the stringers are rotted and the foam is waterlogged..
