Waterlogged Stratos

[stratostn]

I have a older Stratos 1989 285 pro DC that seems to be very slow in the water. I also have 175 Johnson Gt. I dont have a gps so I cant post numbers. The problem is when I replaced the carpet I pulled off the drain cover in the floor and noticed a large amount of water standing in that area. I unclogged it. But to touch the surrounding foam it was saturated with water. My boat cover needs to be replaced. Is there any way to fix this other than by cutting out the floor? All help would be appreciated.

In all seriousness, I would get it to White Bluff and let C&O check it out. They know those boats inside and out and can give you different options from the best to the cheapest ways out.

I'm sorry to say that if you wait to have it fixed, it will only get worse.
