: Does anyone have good ideas for flotation? I read the article in Glen-l book, but I am not too interested in poured in place foam. What about cutting out foam blocks to fit the bilge and close them under the floorboard soles? Couldn't you use styrofoam for this purpose? If you could have your flotation in fitted blocks, then you could remove them for inspection and they would allow air/water to run between the bottom battens.
: Any ideas?
I think that'd work fine. But if I'm not mistaken you must use a closed cell styrofoam. But I can't remember why....
