[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 387511, member: 9169"] Not sure how the chines/channels in your boat are, but mine run from the tip of the bow all the way back to the transom. Unless your cramming foam into the chine/channels in the "V" portion of your hull I don't see how it would trap water. Just like in the flat portion of your hull the foam will sit on the hull bottom, but above the chines/channel which allows water to freely get back to the bilge. I routinely get aluminum shavings, rivets, wire insulation, etc. washed all the way back to my bilge after doing work on the bow of my boat which has access to the hull bottom. Things like that get dropped while doing work, but still make their way back to the bilge via the chines/channels. I've had my floor and foam installed in my boat for nearly 2 years. It gets TONS of dirt, sand and mud in it, especially during waterfowl season. But I have zero issues with my hull bottom and chines getting clogged. [/QUOTE]
