[QUOTE="Jdholmes, post: 240694, member: 6982"] There isn't one thing more buoyant than another. To be effective you will need to replace it with at least the same amount - usually 9-12 cubic feet for a 12-14 Jon. The foam thing is heavily debated on here often. The thing with it is that if there isn't at least enough to keep the boat, your gear, your weight and motor weight floating than it is completely useless and you may as well have none. For that reason a lot of guys just put insurance on the boat and take the chance. In that case if you get swamped, gun the motor and have a fast bilge pump. ;) [/QUOTE]
