So I just bought a used Peenoe 15'11" SportCanoe. I got a good deal but the hull needs some work--there is a poor repair on the "keel" by the prior owner and there have been some chips on the outside edges.

I noticed that the boat feels too heavy to me. Is it possible that water got into the double hull around the flotation? If so, how would I check for that and what could I do about it? Do they use a closed cell material for flotation or could it get saturated like a sponge? I'm totally new to this, so I would be grateful for your experience.
