I used a hand saw to cut vertically around the hatch openings, then used a recipro saw to cut the interior mass of foam into sections for removal.

I used a metal pipe with one end sharpened as a coring tool to remove the foam under the portable toilet storage area. The wooden dowel is used to push the foam core plugs out of the pipe. The end goal was a tunnel that passes under the inspection hole and to the other side, just forward of the cored hull bottom, for battery cables to pass through.
The plywood box is a mockup of a Group 31 battery. I may put batteries in here.
I used a large chisel and a hammer to pry pieces out. The foam was dry until I got to the very bottom, next to the hull, where it was damp.

I used a small circular saw and a jig saw to cut the openings.
There was no "standing water", but the foam at the bottom, next to the hull, was damp enough that you could squeeze water out of it. It tasted yucky, but only very slightly salty.
My boat had no inspection hole and no obvious hole of any kind where foam could have been injected. I decided to drill an inspection hole to see what was in there.
