Re: foam for flotation

I would not advise using the spray foam from the hardware store. It
continues to expand for a long time and I have seen decks get blown
right off boats when it expands too much. It can also absorb water over
time and become very heavy. Most people use pool noodles. I usually use
the foam pipe insulation that you can buy at Home Depot or your
hardware store. It's basically the same stuff as the pool noodles. You
just have to be sure you use enough flotation to float your boat.  Doug
