[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 302742, member: 6694"] The foam is very light and shouldn't affect the stability at all. Adding the foam would help in the event that your boat got swamped (full of water) and would compensate for added weight of gear, mods, etc.. Lowes: [url]https://www.lowes.com/pd_304087-210-304087.0_4294858106__?productId=3122443&Ns=p_product_avg_rating|1&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_avg_rating%7C1&facetInfo=[/url] It is advertised as having less than 1% water absorption. By the way, Home Depot carries virtually the same product, but manufactured by Owens Corning, which is of course pink colored. They carry it in thicknesses of 1/2" to 2". It is advertised as having less than 1% water absorption.
