Water in boat foam hell

This is what 50 hours and 700-800 pounds of wet foam looks like lol noticed the foam was wet on my 20 foot boat man had to cut in 4 new port holes.well it is done and man what a crap job 50 h on your knees with a garden shovel he’ll is the only way I can put it glad it’s over and will not be putting and new foam in never want to do that ever again because boat should fly on to plane now

It’s a big boat there was lots of foam

So in other words you're technically not in compliance with the indicated flotation on the compliance card. Sink like a brick.

My boat is 21 feet don’t need foam in it if you want to get technical lol I am filling the void with something some type of flotation just won’t be foam have all winter to figure out what’s going to go in there was thinking of some type of air bag or something not sure ya have to research some alternatives.just glad I got it out before it was put away

I’m sure that foam that was in it would of taken the boat to the bottom lol

? - How did/Why was the hull foam wet? (Leak concerns?)

Since the manufacturer was not required by law to have foam in the boat, they might've used it for structural reasons.
Might want to call them and find out before deciding to use bubble wrap instead.

The inspiration ports were leaking so every time it rained or when the kids would get on it wet they would take in water sucks but lesson learned lol

You have me here(?).
What are "inspiration ports" and where are they located?

Do you mean inspection ports?

I could only imagine, I had just over 100 lbs in my misty river but was still a pain in the a##.

Why doesn't it need foam? Is it because it is longer than 6 m?

She's gonna fly. I had a boat a few years back that had some waterlogged foam. What a pain to remove but man do you notice a difference.

If you really want some flotation I recommend cutting up pool noodles and jamming them in the space. Just use the cheapo ones from the dollar store.

Either way congrats on finishing a really tough job 👍

Ok, learned something new. Can you seal any of those cavities shut permanently and call them air spaces.

You might be right about the foam for structur going to have a boat guy look at. As for the boat flying I hope so lol it would hit 50 mph before the 800 pounds were out but was hard to steer in the chop I’m assuming it was cause it was so back heavy should get another 5-4 mph out of it and should tow better since the foam all came out of the back half of the boat no foam past the cuddy should also stay on plane better to was hard to keep up under 25 mph taking it for a test run one night this week as long as I don’t work to late every night lol fall everyone seems to want there trees down before the snow flys.as for pool noodles I had thought of that as they would be easy to remove if they got wet just want to make sure the foam is not needed for structure
