[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 233121, member: 6976"] Thanks F4F. I was hoping you would post and appreciate your input. I really like your project. Could you tell me a little bit more about your research on the 2 part foam. I've started looking at it, but haven't found enough information to feel comfortable with it yet. My only experience with foam under the floor is on middle 80's inboard ski boats. I have yet to run into one of those boats that doesn't have water logged foam to some degree. The water logged foam makes for a very heavy boat and eventually rots the stringers out on those boats. All of this foam was supposed to be closed cell as well. This is why I'm hesitant to use poured in place foam. Did your research suggest a change in the formula for the new 2 part foam? What brand of foam did you end up using? Do you know what weight you mixed it (ie.. 2lb, 4lb, etc..) Did your manufacturer suggest any precautions to keep the foam from becoming water logged, or is the new stuff better. Thanks again.
