Default flotation Foam

Two suggestions

One: Stay away from pour foam. Particularly if it may get exposed to
moisture.
Use Styrofoam blocks or factory cast polyurethane foam blocks.
Do not let anyone BS you. Pour foam will absorb water.

Two: For your transom. http://www.coosacomposites.com/
This is a very strong product that can be bonded between two
sheets of relatively
thin aluminum. I would bond with 3M 5200 or a like product.
Bostik 920 would be
much cheaper and work just as well. I am sure some in this group
would insist on epoxy.


Thank you. I had pretty much already decided to cut tight fitting sheets of
styro to replace the nasty stuff below the sole of the first project boat.
That composite from Coosa Composites sounds like exactly what I was looking
for on the other. Thank you again.
