Doing that will NOT make the boat float any higher or lower in the water.
The hull displaces X- amount of water for it's weight. The foam has nothing to do with that until the boat fill's with water. Then and only then does the flotation foam come into effect. Styrfoam is not the product of choice. It will crumble and can absorb water. This will defeate it's ability to float the boat when swamped.
This remind's me of threads I've read on other forum's where the owner is getting water in their motor bracket and they want to fill it with foam, unstead of fixing the leak. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
I'm not saying Styfoam will not work, but it need's to be encapulated in fiberglass and epoxy resign. If you use Polyester resign on Styfoam it will Melt it.
Still I would not use it.
