[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 228731, member: 6982"] Ok...I don't mean this to offend or insult the previous poster...but weight? Really? Enough foam to keep your boat bouyant is going to add less weight than the fish you just caught. Weight is not the issue. If there is every an issue it is finding the space to put the foam. For example my 14 ft. Valco is going to need about 12 cubic feet. Pink closed cell foam sheets glued to the bottom of your deck seems to be a popular way of getting it in. To answer your question about needing it or not...You are the only person who can answer that. If your boat happens to capsize, would you like to lose it completely or be able to get it to shore and save it? [/QUOTE]
