Austin,
The two areas where the foam is located is nowhere near the wooden floor or 
 its supports. The area under the V berth has foam as well as under the 
cockpit  floor.

When i  dismantled the rotten floor i found a large (2") hole into the 
foam.  I  wondered if anyone had saturation problems from water in the bilge.  I 
 may not know for sure until i weigh it at launch time.  Percussion of the  
hull doesnt sound like it is dense enough to be waterlogged.
