[QUOTE="fiberglass, post: 302490, member: 10937"] Jim is right about the [b]manufacture[/b] of the boat has to put foam in a boat that is 21 feet or less. Its uo to you to decide how much foam you want to put back in the boat. I would prbally advise on putting back what you removed. On a aluminum boat what I would do different once I take out the old foam I would coat the aluminum with an epoxy before putting the new foam back in as to prevent the aluminum form oxidizing. No matter what foam you use it if it stays wet long enough it will soak up the water. I know the 2lb foam will typically expand about 20 to 30 times it liquid volume and of coarse that varies due to the humidity. Hope this helps a little. Thanks [/QUOTE]
