[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 506752, member: 21536"] Congrats on the new boat. Looks pretty darn good for the age. I agree with [USER=10635]@Zip[/USER] that 1/2" is good for the deck. I have no idea about the reg's back in 1970, but the idea of the floatation is to keep the swamped boat level. If you remove a lot of foam you could negatively impact that protection. But I can sure see how you would want to use that area for storage. I wonder if you could remove a couple inches to gain some storage and put some back behind where the blocks are without losing the safety factor? BTW, I sure agree with [USER=31842]@Stand Up[/USER] about the 25 hp. The problem is if the smaller lakes you like to use have a 10 HP restriction. [/QUOTE]
