[QUOTE="Ray Clark, post: 513954, member: 31103"] If it was me, I wouldn't be too concerned about how "form fitting" that foam is. I would cut it into pieces and fill the voids as best I could. As long as the foam is contained and doesn't migrate over time, you'll be fine. About the amount of flotation: I'd add enough foam to displace the max weight listed on the identiplate. You can go further if you want; no big deal as long as you're not sacrificing usable space for excess foam. [/QUOTE]
