Just the motor, fuel, gear, and occupants right? I guess I didn't really consider the weight of the occupants. If the goal of the foam is to keep the boat floating and the occupants safe then I guess I need to be able to float it all.... I estimate I will be able to get about 1200 - 1,500 lbs of displacement in based on what I have done so far. This should be enough to keep the boat above water and have some reserve buoyancy for occupants. It will be significantly mare than I pulled out of this boat so at least its better than it was.</blockquote>
