Quick floatation foam placement question hopefully

[rubberbelly]

After reading some of the USCG information, they speak about spacing the buoyancy properly bow to stern and port to starboard based on calculated weight and distribution of the weight. Other than cost, are there any negative issues with filling the entire cavity with foam (more flotation and better floor support is my goal)? Should be less than 20 cubic feet of foam in my 1966 Larson 16' outboard runabout. Hope to get some supplies in route next week! Thanks, Jason

Please bump your restoration thread back to the top and I'd be glad to discuss this with you:

You are perfectly welcome to reopen your thread, but if I replied to it without you opening it first we have some whiners that would whine about me posting to a 2 yr. old thread and I could get a tongue-lashing from the mods.

Usually more floatation is good/best, but distribution is important for upright and level floatation... like this Lund floats:

Thanks, I bumped it with the same question. Feel free to delete this topic if need be.
