damage is most likely already done. Even if you can dry it its not long before it comes apart. Once that water gets in there the swelling of the wood and (not sure if this applies) freezing/thawing can cause permanent damage at the cellular level and also the laminations.
what kind of boat?

if you are looking to lighten it up a bit use a Coosa Bluewater26 for stringers and bulkheads but you will have to modify how the engine mounts.
