I'm saying in general, the reason for the foam. I'm 9 miles from the Atlantic Ocean and sometimes go 10-20 miles off the coast. I'm staying with the foam injected hull if it's ever capsized.

The foam makes sense (and is requred by regulation) but my point was that if its rotten to the core and already saturated with water, it won't do you much good anyway. I know ours would have never floated if it capsized with that slush in there....

Not IDI, but most of my IDI resto parts are sitting in this trailer, witch weighs 2600lbs empty, and loaded like it was, defenently over 4500lbs!

Thats a good load for a stock half ton
