Finally stopped lurking and signed up. I have a question about replacing the floatation in my jon boat. I have an older 1432 that I plan on removing the seats and put in a bow to stern 1/2 carpeted floor with a small deck (with storage compartment) up front for the foot control trolling motor. I plan on adding 2 swivel seats fore and aft with a storage compartment (with possible small livewell) in between that goes form port to starboard and deck to gunwale. I also plan on installing another small storage area at the stern. I will use the framing of the storage compartments to act as reinforcements for the hull since I will be removing the seats. My question is what do I need to use to replace the flotation lost with the removal of the seats? I do not want to lose the boat during rain or in the event it gets swamped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have not started any of the mods yet, but I will be getting started soon. I just want to have as many bases covered before I begin. Thanks in advance for the help>
