[QUOTE="dearl, post: 428548, member: 1760"] Welcome... I'm sure I'm misunderstanding your question but you do mean on the inside of the boat correct? If so then no, floatation will only have effect on the vessel once it comes in contact with the water. It is basically used for flotation and support/sound deadening purposes only. If your planning to add it to the outside, not sure how you could do that successfully and make it stay on, but it would stabilize the boat where it contacts the water, but again not sure it would stay there. The width of the bottom is usually where a vessel gets its stability, plus the inside components having a low center of gravity. Rule of thumb though wider is more stable. Give us some details of how you want to add this flotation and you'll get some good responses. [/QUOTE]
