[QUOTE="bonz_d, post: 401865, member: 11276"] Find it hard to argue with any of your statement other than it's not just the pour in foam that will become compromised if left in direct contact with water. The sheet foam will also as will any wood. Only advantage is that the sheet foam is easier to remove. Also remember that floatation foam was actually meant to be "level floatation" in that if a vessel becomes swamped the floatation is supposed to keep the hull level and not capsize or have either the bow or stern under water. So that in the event that a tragedy happens the occupants can stay safely inside and with the vessel until help arrives. With this in mind it is also why now you see more and more boats built with the floatation boxes running the length of the sides and as high as possible. [/QUOTE]
