1. The empty void on the floor is where the internal fuel tank used to be. I plan to use the space for storage of my regular fuel tank near the stern and tackle storage near the console.
2. I cut out some of the foam floatation that had seeped onto the bottom and it was soaking wet. I'm not sure that all the foam is water-logged as there is some room for play and it seems OK on the top/middle. Should I cut it all out and replace with rigid pink/blue?
3. In addition to welding the seam above the eye hook, there's several rivets that require replacing on the bow and they're not (currently) accessible because the foam floatation is covered by aluminum and riveted to the hull. Can I replace them from the outside? If not, how do I remove the aluminum covering without damaging the rivets?
