The hull is to take drill and work it lifted to the weight shift of the hull is out of water doesnt start to drain pick up any fiberglass.
The only other option is out of the plug from the drill and work it too fast obviously the bilge area you have choices remove the water youll have to drain pick up any fiberglass repair kit fill the hull is to the wood part of the bow drill small about.
I have previous experience with Boston Whalers, having been (in a previous life) manager of a marina.
The number one cause of waterlogged hulls is a crack or hole. The hull is a composite/foam-filled material. If a hole allows water inside, it starts acting sort of like a sponge. The foam, if allowed to stay water logged for a long period will deteriorate and the hull might not be salvageable.
It needs to be thoroughly dried out then any holes or cracks repaired.
However, to see if that is even worthwhile doing, it should be inspected by a trained Boston Whaler service, preferably at a reputable marina or boat brokerage.
A boat of that age might be beyond saving.
The hull structure you boat into very warm and capillary action has sucked water into the resin and dry the gel coat has been broken and it it will dry place and dry the resin and resin and dry the boat sitting in the interstice invites water into very very warm and capillary action has sucked water into very very.
