Re: I guess it's my turn.
CaptDavid, I personally would take the foam out and leave it out. It has no real benefit. The thought behind it was, if you hit something hard enough to breach the bottom of the hull it would keep you from sinking. That problem can be easily be remedied with a 2k or 4k gph ditch pump in addition to your maintenance pump. And if you hit something where a pump that size won't keep up your gonna sink regardless of the foam.
The foam is a loosing proposition as it will retain water from condensation alone, not to mention other source's.
