Not sure if this is the right place for this thread.
I own one of those 1652 crestliner utility boats(2006).Wondering how much foam if any is in this boat?Do some hunting and fishing in the rain,it gets pretty soaked.I don't own a garage to put it in,i hope i dont have to remove soaked foam from underneath a rivited floor in the future.

Re: Foam

Make sure your plug is pulled when storing with the bow raised and you should be okay.
Usually when the foam gets waterlogged it is because the boat has sat for a long time with water trapped in the hull.
I had to pull the foam out of my boat and it was a major PIA.
Put all the peices in trash bags and weighed them when I was done just for the heck of it,something like 360 lbs.
Also look into a cover, even a decent tarp from Lowes/Menards should work fine, just figure out some way to peak it in the middle.
