    1986 Starcraft MR210 Center Console Resto Flotation Dilemna

    Hey Guys, I replaced the transom last year and the floor was in line this year. I'm down to the bottom and trying to decide what flotation to put back in my boat. I like the poured in (lasted 25 years) but noticed when I removed it, the limbers (opening in the bottom of the "V") were clogged...
