Title: Bow foam
Post by: osbo68 on May 28, 2009, 08:06:14 PM
Ok this might be a dumb ???? Not even sure it's in the right spot :screwy:Is there any structural need for the foam in the bow or is it just there to help float your boat for a bit if it sinks.. And does that stuff weigh alot and are there any benefits to removing it... Thx guys, Andrew ???

Nothing structual. Dont weigh much. No benefit to removing it. Make sure it stays dry and save yourself the hassle.

I've removed both and the wet stuff was like a sponge. HEAVY ! :screwy:
