[QUOTE="mmf, post: 228112, member: 4379"] I left my 2 big rear floatation blocks but I cut them about 2 inches up from the floor all the way across. If they are wet, they will dry out in the sun, takes awhile though. I removed all other floatation except under the front deck, which was in good shape. I added some floatation under my "bench" seat (pool noodles) and I added some board type foam on my side panels, I DID NOT however put ANY foam back in the floor because I wanted to have good drainage. I also had to drill center drainage holes on mine too.
