In order to cancel the weight of his keel (3200 pounds?) Neal would need roughly
50 cubic feet of foam. If the boat were constructed with this in mind, it would
have a layer of foam about 2 inches thick on the entire hull. It seems highly
unlikely that Neal could have installed that much foam after the fact.

Yes, I didn't say it doesn't.
It positive floatation one of the factors that makes a better boat?

If installed and tested properly. There's no reason to think Neal has workable
floatation. Look at his boom and tell me his vessel is ready for any real
sailing.
