[QUOTE="ericman, post: 473593, member: 11909"] I strongly advise against the use of poured foam in the bottom of the boat, UNLESS you can prevent the foam from going to the center bottom of the V. My Crestliner has poured in foam in the 2 side compartments and nothing down the center. The hull is still clean. EVERY boat that I've ever dealt with that had the entirety of the floor filled with poured foam had water trapped, which caused massive amounts of oxidation. 2 of the boats were so pitted it looked the planetarium ceiling. Poured foam is also expensive. You can buy blue or yellow or pink foam sheets at any hardware store and cut them with a fillet knife and stack them up in the compartments and do so in a manner that they don't press right against the hull. This is much cheaper, less risky, and less messy. Just my opinion though as the guys at US Composites will tell you otherwise because they stand to make money from you. And I buy from them all the time because I make foam duck decoys. [/QUOTE]
