[QUOTE="ccm, post: 346658, member: 13447"] 1 more thing regarding flotation foam in boats generally early 1990's and older; many boat companies used a two part open celled foam meaning that it absorbed water if it ever got wet ( no the boat wouldn't sink if swamped ) it absorbed water over time and it can be easy or difficult to replace according to where/how the manufacturer put it in. New closed celled foam is easy to find, just go to your local building supply store and it is sold as insulation sheets. If the boat feels heavier than it is supposed to be than this might be an issue. It's not a deal breaker for most boats but it can be a negotiating point. [/QUOTE]
