[QUOTE="SumDumGuy, post: 379543, member: 12459"] I used the white foam in my boat. I figure if it is good enough to be in those docks I see out there that have been in the water for the last 50 years and not absorbed water and sunk then it is good enough to use as flotation in my boat that is not going to have prolonged water exposure. Further, the stuff I removed from my boat (1968 Crestliner Flying Crest) was original, white foam (that's creeping awfully close to 50 years, too). Apart from some deformation due to fuel contact the foam was in perfect shape (re-used as much as possible) and not water logged. I think the blue, pink, purple or whatever color of foam is a waste of money. - the "white stuff" works perfectly fine. Perhaps I'll snap a picture in 10, 20, 30 years when I pull up the floor again. :twisted: [/QUOTE]
