I live and apartment should I take the time and pull it apart and reinsert the foam? Or would it be better to just buy a new one? My girlfriend gets 20% off at acdeamy

If you have the title, it is worth trying to salvage it. Without a title it is junk. You should turn the boat on end and see if it will drain out and dry over the next couple of weeks. Just stand it up on end on your patio. Post some more pictures so we can see what the rest of the boat looks like.

Shopping for used pond boats is frustrating. Most don't have titles and the many of the ones with titles are still in the name of a previous owner. I drove an hour last night to look at a titled Pelican Intruder with trailer, trolling motor, depth finder, battery and battery charger. There was no registration sticker. The title was in a previous owner's name. The plastic boat was warped from not being properly supported on the trailer. The trailer was not road worthy and he admitted to using it just to store the boat off the ground. The trolling motor didn't work. The battery was dead. I didn't bother checking out the depth finder or the battery charger. It's funny now because the picture he texted me of the boat on a creek looked so good, I was ready to buy it regardless of what shape the trailer was in. I really need to ask more questions before driving to see a boat.

I will post photos next week.

Got my new boat. The trailer had rollers but they are not rubber so it was bowing the bottom of the boat so I install bunk boards.

Hey Tdot,where did you get that trailer and how much was it? I just bought an inflatable Mariner 4 and that looks like a trailer I could use. Thanks

Congratulations that's a nice looking rig you got there. Is that the 8' or 10' Bass Raider?
