[QUOTE="txnman69, post: 301653, member: 10845"] glad i read this posting section. i'm currently doing a 14' aliminum boat mod. and cut out a section of each of the 3 benches (to put battery in one, onboard cooler/livewell in another and small storage in the other) made carpeted bench tops (middle one lifts up for access) , in doing so i removed ALL the styrofoam. like other posts i've read here, my boat only had chunks of foam and most were rotted so bad i didn't recognize them as styrofoam. my idea is to seal off the open sections i've made (for battery...etc) and use the expandable foam in a can from home depot or lowes. if anyone can let me know , will this be enough floatation ? , what other options are there ? (BUDGET is a HUGE issue :( ). thanks to all for any insight or tips [/QUOTE]
