Best advice you got so far was to weigh the boat to
see if the foam is
waterlogged.

I don't know if you remember Jim, but I found out
that my Ranger bay
boat is about 870 lbs over published weight putting
the whole rig
right on the edge of trailer capacity - 4,980 lbs
for a 5,000 lb
trailer.

The foam isn't waterlogged. I called Ranger about it
and they didn't
have an explanation either.

I got to thinking about it. A gallon of water
weighs 8 lbs.. To have
870 lbs of extra water weight, the boat would have
to hold 109 gals of
water.

That's a lot of cubic feet of water to have in foam
on a 20 foot boat.

How do you know the foam isn't waterlogged? Is all
the space between
your floor and the hull accessible? Case it's not on
most boats..

You're right on the money. The Foam Cores are almost
always NOT
accessible. When I re-did the sub frames,and floors in
my boat, it WAS
accessible. No water in there, luckily.- Hide quoted

Yep, when I redid my floor I removed the foam. The
foam was only
accessible with the floor removed.

The plywood in mine had separated already, so it was
easy. The foam
cores were in the rear of the boat. Both sides,
measuring 5 feet long,
by 2 feet square. covered with new ply, and
fiber-glassed shut using
new matting.
Problem is, I haven't found a paint that will adhere to
the glass
gelcoat... Ideas? I don't want carpet in the stern of
the boat. When
fishing, it gets stained with Rainbow Trout blood...lol.
I could put down those 3m " no-slip " strips......

A real POS, eh?

It'll take rougher water than your ****box. " Loser Larry".

I thought I didn't have a boat, now I do. Funny how that
works, eh? So
what kind of boat do I have?

You...were the one touting you had a boat. Must be a real dream
machine as well, since you're " afraid " to post a picture
of your so-
called Boat...with you pictured in it.
Now, blow up that Dinghy, and show me up...... Loser Larry.

Money talks...

I've always thought you were a Whore, Larry......

...and bull**** walks.

As expected.

You're the one advertising you do " things " for money...Whore.

The wager you avoided has nothing to do with that, and I never
"advertised" that, but I do work for money - enough to afford dental
care, toothpaste, and a boat built in this decade.

Awwwwwwwwww...poorLarry, cant show his Boat that he doesn't have. I
pity you, idiot.You have no credentials here, being an Internet Liar
just like Ingersoll. LOL.

I don't owe you a picture of anything, YT. Your buddy Krause is the
KING of lies. Care to comment on his imaginary Lobster boat or are
you
afraid you will lose your only friend?

Nice try deflecting," Boatless" one.Proves my point.

It's nice to see "the boys" are still fuming because I won't play
"the game" by the rules they like.

Game? Rules? You are delusional.
No, he's narcissistic.

No, it only proves you are afraid of ****ing off your only friend here. *
A photo of my boat would involve a wager you can't afford, loser.

Like I said, I don't care anymore, whore.
