[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 257022, member: 6937"] The purpose of foam is not to provide buoyancy, as that comes from displacement. Its main purpose is to fill voids in the boat, so that if it takes on water, these spaces are occupied with foam, which prevents them from filling with water, causing the boat to take on more weight and becoming unstable to the point that it goes turn-turtle. But again, some foam is better than none, so, anywhere you are able to put it, do so. [/QUOTE]
