that's amazing that your foam is dry. have you tried digging down to the hull in the deepest part forward of the engine? would be a shame to slap a new floor on if there's moisture trapped in there.

the ski poles are heavy mo-fo's. shipping is out of the question...i think you'd be better off getting another coozie

sunken batteries...not enough room on saltares either. there really isn't that much room under the floors in these boats. my batteries are on the spotter side but sub, amps, and my fat butt on the driver side are too much.

good luck...can't wait to see how this ends up.
