[QUOTE="CedarRiverScooter, post: 445169, member: 15465"] The boat manufacturers use the 2 part foam because it meets USCG regs for gasoline exposure & flammability, & probably a few other factors too. The rigid polystyrene insulation board that I also used is dangerous when exposed to gasoline, but I am not manufacturing the boat, just using it at my own risk. I figure if it catches on fire I don't want to be hanging onto it anyway. Part of my flotation plan includes an old water sack, still holds air well. The big factor is making sure the floatation element is adequately tied down! [/QUOTE]
