flotation foam

I am going to buy some flotation foam for my boat as the old stuff is really water logged. What product would you suggest.

thanks

You can buy it right from Mertons. He has pricing online. It comes in two parts you mix together and pour in. Google Mertons fiberglass, he's a good guy and can help you with whatever you need and tell you how to use it.

Have a place for it to go after you mix the "A" & "B" parts together!!!! It expands real fast once it starts.

the boat that we are trying to fix had a leak. the screws that held the transducer were not put in properly and it leaked like crazy. this is a boat we bought. It was listing so we removed all the old foam. and of course fixed the leak. We removed the foam because it was all wet. I am not sure i would like to put in foam again. I was wondering how you felt about putting in the foam boards you get a Lowes, cut up in the boat. This way water could flow out without a problem. we are lucky the stupid thing didn't sink.

You need the marine grade closedcell foam. Not the "great stuff" or regular foam.
