If it is damp in the bilge, the old flotation may be waterlogged. Open the drain in the stern and dry out the bilge. Sometimes the seals on the old 4" inspection ports are bad and leak during rain while on the trailer. Mine did. There is a thread on the forum the has the replacement part listed for the DS inspection ports if yours need replacing.
I also replaced my flotation with pool noodles.
