[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 346849, member: 13702"] Just be aware that modern boats are made using a urethane based closed cell foam - the stuff you buy from a home-supply store (Lowes / Home Depot) is extruded polystyrene - the difference is urethane is pretty well inert, where as if you get a drop of gas on polystyrene it will eat right through it - spill gas and your backup flotation in the event of a swamping turns into basically napalm goo and is useless when an ***-hat yuppie buzzes you with his ski boat.
