[QUOTE="duckfish, post: 380628, member: 17136"] I fully understand the reasoning behind having at or near the minimum USCG standard for safety floatation foam. What I'm unclear about is adding more beyond that. Especially in a floor. I have never seen an un-encapsulated foam that was regularly subjected to extended periods of water contact (a near certainty under a floor) that did not absorb water and take on additional weight. It then in turn also typically provokes corrosion of your aluminum. Seems counterproductive to me. Was wondering if someone found benefits that out-weighed the risks. [/QUOTE]
