This is without the wood, Norman pins, and centerboard handle inside. Weight with all that stuff should be about 125-130 pounds. Still got a way to go, maybe another 60 pounds.

This might take a bit longer.

Adding dates would be better.

Drying foam is a very slow process and you'll never get to 100% dry. As I've heard from many people that repair Whalers, "there's no such thing as a dry hull once it's been in the water." That might be extreme, but the foam in most boats does seem to wick up water and hold it. I've seen Whaler projects where they cut hold and remove the foam and then pour in new foam.

I would try building a sealed enclosure for the boat and run a dehumidifier to see if the process can be accelerated.

Why use a dehumidifier as obviously the OP is not in a hurry and looks at this as a science project?

Thanks for putting it into perspective. My metabolism rate for projects is pretty high and I have to take a step back since everyone has other priorities and time constraints.

The Squall was a popular dingy in these parts back in day since the Whaler factory was only 50 miles away, but you don't see them anymore.
