[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 470921, member: 21536"] [i][b]"My biggest question is whether the insulation foam will...float my boat :P"[/b][/i] If you are asking about flotation capacity I was going to refer you to the sticky in the Boat House section about how much foam is needed. But I see you have already visited there. As long as it is closed cell foam I might prefer using the insulation board over the two part expanding stuff for an enclosed area. Keeping a drain channel down the middle is a good idea in my opinion. Even with closed cell foam it is not unusual to read of waterlogged foam. The drain channel will eliminate having your foam sitting in water -- always a good thing. [/QUOTE]
