[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 7078, member: 10"] The float foam will prevent the boat from sinking in an emergency - it will actually lower the water line slightly because of the weight of the foam. (Think of it this way, the foam is still heavier then air so it does nothing to effect displacement - much like adding a load of wood could sink a boat - despite the fact that wood floats) The foam will also deaden sound - and in a tin boat this is nice [/QUOTE]
