[QUOTE="EricZ, post: 339209, member: 11611"] Not sure if I can give you the answer you're looking for, but personally I would not rely on the foam itself to provide an kind of rigidity. Mine was very flimsy once I cut out all of the old structure, but once I put the new stuff in it was a lot stiffer than before. Whatever the foam added in rigidity after the aluminum bracing was in is just an added bonus. It's at least twice as rigid as it was when the old decks were on. Running through any kind of chop before I could feel the whole boat shake and rattle, it doesn't do that anymore. [/QUOTE]
