Default Flotation Foam - \"unsinkable\"

I know new boats under a certain size are required to unsink...Ha...I know they will float, not necessarily upright, but I know a lot of our older boats will probably not. I thought most of you did not add any flotation foam, and I was not planning to. However, the recent NFL player incident off Florida (happens to be local for me) has got me thinking. No doubt would have been 4 dead instead of 3 if their Everglades did not float, albeit turtle shell up.

Are you guys adding flotation? Did these boats have it originally? Stringers? Elsewhere?
