[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 240837, member: 7544"] I'd have to disagree with that statement. Lets say you have a boat that was overloaded for the amount of foam it had installed in it by 50lbs too much. Of course if you pull the plug it's going to sink to the bottom. Now you've got the same boat and gear except there is 0 foam installed. It's going to sink when you pull the plug also. Which situation do you think you would rather be in when it comes time to salvage that boat off the bottom of the lake? I promise you that lifting what would essentially be a 50 lb weight vs trying to lift the full dead weight of a boat and motor would make you extremely happy that you had installed what ever foam you did install.
