[QUOTE="Slough Runner, post: 412070, member: 17113"] I removed 80% of my foam. Only foam that is left is the very upper right hand side of my bow and whatever is under the original floor. If I sink I'll sink with the most storage a guy could have on a boat this size! As far as floating lower, the foam has nothing to do with how the boat rides. It only comes into play once he entire boat is filled with water. The idea is that as the boat sits brand new with no accessories if it is completely filled with water it must not sink completely. It is mandated by the coast guard and all boat manufacturers have to pass this test. knowing that I made the boat the way I wanted and am going to a chance that I won't put a hole in my boat so bad that my bilge pump can't keep up enough to get me 100yds to the shore.
