Re: Deck foam
I recall another thread in the last couple of weeks on the every same subject. The poster wanted to know whether he should put back in fresh foam that was removed during reconstruction. I believe someone said that it was part of USCG instructions to boat builders to install it. The foam is there for a very good reason. One poster remarked, that if you didn't put back in the 'flotation foam' you should disclose it in any sale as it's something you cannot see in any visual inspection. Bit like cars have airbags, recent models must have them as standard, but how do you know you still have one in your used car?? There have been instances where unscrupulous sellers have sold a vehicle where airbags have deployed, but did not replace them due to the high cost. The unsuspecting new owner makes the assumption that because it say airbag on the steering wheel, they have one under the boss. Maybe, maybe not.
