[QUOTE="RiverBottomOutdoors, post: 250983, member: 3912"] I think some people are a little overzealous about foam. Maybe they see jon boats sinking every week where they fish...me, I've never seen anyone sink one. But "better safe than sorry" is a good rule to follow. I didn't put foam under my flooring because sometimes I get lots of blood in my boat from bowfishing, I want to be able to flush the bildge. I also did not replace the foam that I removed from my middle seat and instead used it for storage space. The risk of sinking a boat in the waters I fish are nil. Water logged foam is not better than no foam, in my opinion. I would say water logged foam is more a danger than no foam. False sense of security, decreased performance and handling. [/QUOTE]
