[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 385167, member: 2983"] Sound dampening is a major benefit of adding foam. You can also add foam as a support mechanism for use with thinner ply/alum for decking, thus adding less weight to your watercraft. However, the primary purpose would be in the extreme case of capsizing or taking on too much water the foam would keep your boat afloat enough for you to hang on to it until rescued. That and your boat won't be at the bottom of the lake. [/QUOTE]
