question from my friend:

Flotation styrofoam for starcraft.

I am replacing floors in 1973 16 foot aliminum starcraft (70
h.p. Johnson outboard). If I add styrofoam in the middle under the
floor it will only add 300 lb of floatation. Boat weight in the water
is 600 lb. ( calculated using weight in the air of 1000 lb). There is
no other room for styrofoam. Previos owner removed styrofoam, or it
never was there.

Question :
Is there any sense to add styrofoam, I would rather use the
underfloor space
for storage.

I dont see the need for styrofoam on any boat. It keeps them from
coming on plane.
