well I do appreciate your input and I do have a 12v fan. That said, how long on average should it take to dry a soaked interior. I realize there are variables, but I really have no perspective on this. THANKS
Save the cut-out piece for any future repairs.Drill 3/8" dia hole then sabre saw. Place tape over lines to be cut to keep glass fibre dust to a minimum.
what's the best place to cut a hole for an inspection port to dry out a soaked hull. THANKS
I have dried out 2 hulls with following technique, Cut inspection holes at bow and stern, cover deck with black plastic, set in sun for several days with one end of hull several feet higher than the other to encourage air flow up and out as it heats. Deck under plastic gets too hot to touch. One hull dried from 190 to 120 (my scales) within a week. ( Scrap piece of deck from cutouts was soaked and water squeezed out like a sponge)what's the best place to cut a hole for an inspection port to dry out a soaked hull. THANKS
Did you ever get your boat dry back dine to original weight?I picked up an 86 sunfish last winter very cheap. It was on a working trailer where it had sat for 10 years. Found out it was full of water and after draining it still was a good 200 lbs. I installed two 4" ports and let it bake in the sun for 6 weeks with no results. I've been using a hair dryer for a week for around 3 hrs a day when I'm around and she's drying out very fast! I haven't weight it yet but I can pick it up now. I'll go another week and try weighing it again. I think this is the best way to dry one fast.
