[QUOTE="Y_J, post: 366164, member: 14258"] Mine also has the foam blocks under the benches. You can buy various thicknesses of the insulation foam to uses. You can also buy pour in foam. Mix a couple parts together then pour it in where you want it. I would think that would be the near ideal way of getting your floatation foam into your 9" hatch without cutting to bench tops off. The important part is to make sure that it is "Closed Cell" foam. That's the kind that don't suck up all the water. Your foam blocks under your benches should be ok. Maybe a bit dirty but still usable. My boat is an old 1956 model and the blocks under my benches kept my boat afloat about a month ago when it capsized. Not to shabby for an old gal. Go on over to Home Depot (or similar store) and check out their foam insulation. Prices aren't all that bad either. [/QUOTE]
