[QUOTE="Linhardt, post: 352755, member: 7204"] I am no expert but just from reading what you said about how you can see the rollers bulging through the hull, I would make sure when you do re-pour the foam it that your boat is not on the trailer with the rollers. The way I see it is that anything that is allowing the hull to flex in after you remove the hull, when you re-pour, your foam will take that shape. Then when you put the boat in the water you may find out that there will now be a void between the hull and foam cause the foam is in the shape of the hull when it was on the trailer but when in the water the hull might flex back to original contours leaving the void. Or if the foam adheres and is strong enough to hold the hull to the shape it was in on the trailer when you put the boat in the water you will notice that when viewing from underneath it might dip in a little where the rollers were seated, thus causing problems with the hulls performance. So my suggestion is when you pour the foam make sure that the hull is either in a cradle made to your hulls shape or somehow suspended above the trailer or whatever you have the hull on when doing the work so it will be in the proper shape. This is just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
