I'm working on a '91 Sea Nymph 171cc aluminum v bottom, with rear bilge pump to remove water that gets under deck. I Removed all decking and water-logged (heavy) foam flotation from below. I would like to re-foam for noise suppression and flotation...but, understand the pourable flotation foam is not completely 'closed cell' and will eventually get saturated and heavy again. Is there a better way? -cut shapes from large styrofoam to fit between stringers? -put HD plastic bags between stringers and fill with foam to keep water away? Or, do I just leave out the foam altogether? Any experience or recommendations. Thanks, beached
