    Any one know how my boat is built

    Hay all I was just wondering if anyone knew if my 1999 key largo 160cc has a foam filled hull. I know I removed one of the rear rod holders in the gunnel and saw foam. I guess what I'm asking is if the boat took on a lot of water would it sink or would it sink but bob in the water. Thanks
