My 1972 ODAY Widgon floats with the bow high--about 5 inches above the boot stripe and the stern correspondingly low. There are two benches in the cockpit which I expect are filled with floatation foam that over the years have become water saturated. Because the benches have front ends I cannot access them to extract the foam. Can this problem be solved without opening up the fiberglass benches.
