Sprayfoam in hull?

[EriccirE]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a product that I can spray underneath my floor to fill the voids between my stringers in the hull. Perferably something that would add structural integrity also, but mainly looking to fill so water cannot seep in. Finally, I would like something that would be sprayable, since I have already re-carpeted my floor. I wouldn't mind cutting holes in the back floor to be able to spray in there.

Thanks
Eric

bad idea... keep the water out from the top.... there are two part pourable foams but if water can get to it the foam makes it more likely that the water will get trapped in there.

If the floor is sealed to the gunwales and transom the water should not get under it

Water definitely gets in there. The floor is sealed, but I think it seeps in near the transom. If sitting out on the lake for a while, she fills with water. What should I do?

Yeah, foam is not for fixing leaks.
