[QUOTE="wihil, post: 228805, member: 6487"] My boat doesn't have any foam in it, but I don't think that floatation foam was mandated in the 50's. I did notice that the two benches are sealed to the floor with a very small drainage pass through at the bottom, so air trapped by that space would easily keep the boat afloat. That's part of the reason I'm a bit concerned about putting any kind of holes in the benches - but the 2 part foam is easy enough to pick up and put in if I want to make sure I don't end up at the bottom.
