Installing floatation foam in the floor of our boat, not only to help float the boat after an impact to the hull but makes the floor structurally stronger. We do a little experiment and we pour a little foam in a cup to see how much it does expand. We didn't think the Liquid Urethane Closed Cell Rigid Pour 2 Lb Density Foam would expand as much as it did. Here we show how we drilled the holes in our new boat floor. We then mix the foam doing a little math not to overfill the boat floor cavity. Finally, we plug the hole with the wood plug we drilled out of the boat floor to fill the hole. Follow along as we breath new life into this 2004 Bayliner Bowrider. Blog For This Project: https://www.chrisdoeswhat.com/category/diy/boat-restoration/ If you want the foam we used, see this link: https://amzn.to/2GEwH1t We used the Liquid Urethane Rigid Pour Foam 2 Lb Density one gallon kit. This expands to fill a little over 4 cubic foot which we thought was very good. The higher density foam you get the more you will need. We went with the lowest density foam we could find, we did not need to add structural strength so the 2lb foam worked great. It does make the floor firmer as it pushes against the bottom of the floor.
