repairing the floor in my bassboat

[pina boy]

i have a 1979 16 ft. bassboat "cane cutter". i was changing the carpet and i found a soft spot in the middle.
i need to know what is the best and fastest way to fix this problem.
i did cut some of the middle section out, and dug out all of the foam and most of the foam was soaked.
the rest of the floor is solid and the stringers are in good shape. the transit is perfect.


my question is do i have to remove all the floor or just let the foam dry?
i would like to get back to fishing, so i want to know what is the best and fastest way to get this project done ANY HELP WILL BE CONCERED!!!!!

the foam will never dry. Probably should take out the whole floor and replace all the foam and wood, if its started to get soft in one spot, the rest is likely rotting tool.

You guys are joking, right?? Not even bassboats have floors.

Y'all gonna make JB come back in here and lecture you on floors...The only questions is... on a HOUSE boat, is it a deck or a floor? LOL
