[QUOTE="Dman23, post: 258522, member: 8226"] Not sure how to do this. It is closed cell spray insulation foam. I bet all the floam showed in the picture is less than a pound. Maybe two pounds at max. It is also hard as a rock, you can spray 2 inches into the top of a shoe box and you cannot break it over your knee. Anyways that gives you a sense of the foam. Floor covers my whole 14 ft boat. Back few feet is 4 ft wide exactly then slowly goes up from there. The middle is 4 inches of foam tall front to back and in the back probably 3 ft across before it tapers. From middle to front it is 4 inches thick for probably 2 ft or better before it tapers. Even at the edges of the foam its still about 2 inches deep. There are some 2x4 supports in all that but doesnt take out too much. Anyone have a ballpark on how many lbs of floatation that creates? Just curious. I know its much better than before but want to know a rough ballpark. Thanks if advance for the help! [/QUOTE]
