    According to previous posts, an 18' or 19' boat would use about 8 - 9 quarts of two part closed cell foam. I can have it done for $450. Cdn. How does that compare to buying cans and doing yourself in US$.<br />Am I way off base on quantity? Appreciate help clearing up this concern.

    replace foam or not?

    I have just had the floor and stringers replaced on a 19' bayliner bowrider. My friend thinks<br />foam is a waste of time and always soaks up the<br />water making the boat heavier in the water, thus<br />slowing it down. He does not want to replace it but will if I insist. <br />Is it...
