Acetone replaces water, and so speeds the drying process. If the boat is  
sailed in salt water, and so salt water is in there, you will have to wash the  
salt water out with fresh, before any drying technique of any description would 
 be effective.
 
Has anyone consulted with a pro to find out if there are tried and proven  
methods to repair this problem?
