Uncle Buck Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Looking to put floatation foam in the bottom of the boat, anyone do the house stuff where they spray it in? Thanks, Goran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyb Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Try sending a PM to 'Darrell' on gettinghooked forums. I believe he has a buddy that is in the spray foam insulation trade. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Don't use the house insulation foam-you need at least closed cell to not hold water. And even that is best case, meaning its easy for water to escape. Build the compartments with good drainage if your using foam, plan so that the foam stays dry. Go to iboats and read on boat restoration forum-do a search on foam.....I'm against it in restorations-seen too many boats with 300-600 lbs of water in the 'flotation' foam. Neutral buoyancy? Tore the foam out of Whaler I'm restoring- may go the 2 litre pop bottle route with little foam to stop rattling when time comes-tuff call.
