[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 501066, member: 3438"] Is this a flat bottom / Mod-V, or a semi-V / V? The latter can cause some stability changes with a raised floor. Did adding the foam raise the height of your floor? If so, that might be slightly impacting the center of gravity while standing, but wouldn't think it would be noticeable on a flat / Mod-V. What height change? Was the old floor saturated? ie heavy? that might of made it feel more stable sitting. As the guys said, floation foam is only for when you are capsized. I did a foam and sheet aluminum floor on my 1648 DMI Mod-V. Floor is same height as ribs. I didn't notice any change in stability. [/QUOTE]
