Gentlemen, Say I want to make sure my boat does not sink even if it's full of water. It weighs 4330 pounds. Does that mean I have to add about two cubic meters of foam somewhere? There isn't enough space for that much. Or can I somehow take into account the buoyancies of fiberglass, *fuel tank, engine, and all the other stuff? Is there a method to calculate things like that? What year and size is your boat? Newer boats already are required to have floatation. Usually it's expanding foam under the floor and in the sides. US Composites has a good expanding foam. |
