: I suspect that ALL Glen-L designs will float just fine!
: A common misconception is that foam "flotation" will make a boat float better. Under normal circumstances, that's not true - the weight of the foam (small though it may be) will only serve to make the boat ride ever so slightly lower.
: HOWEVER, if the boat is holed or capsizes and fills with water, the foam should keep it from sinking and provide something for the passengers to hold onto until help arrives.
