[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 251192, member: 6937"] I researched the pink board, and it says that it is closed-cell foam, as well. I feel better knowing that. OK, so, here's the next question. What about cases where foam has been removed, but a fuel tank has been put there? What kind of buoyancy would something like that provide in a swamping? I have 2 11 gallon fuel tanks in the stern of my jetboat. I did not foam them back in place, because there was a concern with foam holding water, and causing corrosion to the aluminum tanks, as that is what happened previously, when I had these tanks foamed in place.
