[QUOTE="el_cheapo, post: 434485, member: 20910"] Hello all, I have a 14' Semi v with 3 bench seats and a casting deck, while doing some renovation I realized the previous owner removed all the foam. As the username implies I really don't want to drop a couple hundred bucks on foam. (although if I have to it's not a bad investment) But I was wondering if I saved 2 liter soda bottles, antifreeze, oil jugs etc, if it would stop my boat from sinking should I become swamped. with the casting deck I have I would say almost double the space the boat originally had for foam so even if they arent as efficent per cubic foot I think I could pull off flotation potentially unlevel though.
