Search for Skanky Beast in the boat restoration forum. Tells you all about it, restoring a trihull by JasonJ. Spray can foam won't cut it...most use the two-part, mixable, pour in foam. Good luck and post some pix.

Is that a "been there, done that" tip?

Re: replacing the floor on a tri hull

my question is should i replace the foam or not.

I replaced my floor/transom because of rot and saturated foam and did not replace the foam. I feel much more comfortable when I can raise my boat using the jack and see if there is any water left in the boat.

Best of luck to you - that is not a fun job.
