[QUOTE="imjus4u2nv, post: 128316, member: 2746"] Not sure if anyone will respond, this post was from a long time ago. My family has owned a coleman crawdad i think since the mid 80's- its old. I saved it from it resting place under our deck and brought it back to life. For the floor I used that new plastic decking material (I used a table saw to split the board down the middle, making to this pieces- this stuff is strong even at half thickness. Has held up very well. My question is whether I can take the foam out. I know it is supposed to keep the boat afloat but this foam is old, and although mostly intact I am not sure if it could keep the boat afloat. Also will removing the foam have any impact on boyancy of the boat during normal use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am going to follow a tip from a fellow poster and replace the plastic front pieces with wood, and maybe put in a live well with an aerator rather then a pump. Tight lines. [/QUOTE]
