[QUOTE="callelk, post: 368185, member: 15337"] I know I am getting old but I could not believe it was becoming so hard to the lift a boat that is advertised at 150# or so. It’s not. After drilling out the rivets holding the seats I found all of the polystyrene that was wrapped in plastic was waterlogged to the tune of about 20# per block so 5 waterlogged blocks = 100# additional weight. As it is fall, pool noodles are out of the question so I am thinking polystyrene wrapped in Tyvek and then tapped. I will be using 10-32 rivnuts to secure the new wood so I can access the floatation at any time to check how it is holding up. [/QUOTE]
