"Well I did a little more research and found out exactly what I've got and what I need to do.
Carpenter Ants. They are building nests in the soggy wood that came from the previous owner not covering the boat in the rain.
Treatment: Use baits, do not spray because they will seperate and create more colonies. Replace wood. Ants are active at night, set out food and follow them back to the nest. Powders can be used if a nest is located. There is often several nests. The ants can't sting but can bite (they havn't gotten me yet and i've had them all over me at one point)
Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem."
