Default Re: Bellyup SeaCraft in Fort Lauderdale

it looks like our 23' boats are fond of flipping over. Currently, if the boat becomes unstable, it will lean on one side soon water will fill in between the liner and side, eventually it will flip over once this floatation is gone. i noticed that we could keep out boat from flipping over if we would to fill the cavity between the inner liner and the side of the hull with close cell foam. this could be accomplish by drilling and filling the side with foam prior to a restoration work. this extra floatation on the side of the boat will keep the boat from flipping over if for some reason the boat is swamp with water. at most it water would come to the deck level. sound like a cheap insurance to me. plan to do this on mine when i restore it.
