Sailorman,
I do appretiate your insight. I payed little for this boat and I do want to keep it and care for it, it would still be worth more than the nominal investment.
Tomand Karens34,
I just talked with someone at the boat yard today and you echoed exactily what he said, "there is no Holy Grail for this but to cut it out and replace it with it's origional balsa core, just seal it as you go and you will likely need to replace more balsa than what it looks like from the stains", he also said "sucking the moisture will take longer than just doing the repair and even then you may not get all the moisture out, just do it if you want it fixed."
I am not afraid of work as it is a labor of love for me. Never been behind a desk and only sip whiskey once in a while, but I do smoke (I accept all your prayers for me to quit).
Never the less. I put this question out to all of you to get the streight up on my delima, honesty is always better than a misleading compliment. Thanks to all of you I am focusing on the correct way to do this.
Dennis
