G'day folks. I am currently renovating a Red Witch and i have found a problem... well, i have found quite a few, but one in particular that i need some help with! In the lazerette i found a small crack/hole in the forward bulkhead, right down where it meets the hull, on the centreline. I poked with my finger and quickly made the hole bigger... I found i could very easily dig out the core foam, which just crumbled away to nothing, it seems very brittle, and wet. Bad smelling water trickled out, there is now a puddle in the lazerettte (i have jacked up the trailer hitch to try to drain it out). This foam has me confused - it appears to be open cell foam, shouldn't it be closed cell? And does anyone know how far this foam extends? I know the transom is solid 'glass, as are the topsides and the aft cabin/lazerette fwd bulkhead above the aft end of the quarter berths (I drilled a couple of holes to learn this). Is this foam used throughout the bilge, i.e. the entire space between the hull and the quarter and v berths tops? If this is the case, this water ingress could well be throughout the whole boat, yeah? Any suggestions as to how far I should go chasing this? Cheers
