1. A method for removing internal moisture which tends to collect in hulls, decks, stringers, transoms, bulkheads, spars, and other boat structures comprising:
forming air injection bores in a core or other boat structure in the vicinity of unwanted moisture; providing a source of pressurized injection air; providing an air injection system comprising a plurality of air injection lines running from said source of pressurized injection air, and inserting said air lines into said bores and thereby pressurized injection air into said bores; controlling the pressure of said air being injected into said bores, and including varying said pressure of said air to a first one or group of several said bores independently from a second one or group of said bores.
