[QUOTE="Rat, post: 123922, member: 1914"] It can hurt to have it, especially if you have a leak. Great stuff will absorb water and fuel breaks it down pretty rapidly and creates a gooey mess. If you do have a leak the extra water weight will be carried possibly affecting trim and definitely affecting fuel economy due to the extra weight. As little as it takes to fill the ribs on the side of the hull probably isn't going to affect anything; but I wouldn't use it in any area where it may come in contact with water or fuel and definitely not in large areas like filling seats or under soles. You can get a 2 part expanding foam in a 2 quart kit for $32 that is USCG approved and will not absorb water and is fuel resistant. [/QUOTE]
