We use a two part pourable that works pretty good. Unsure of any info right now, put i am going back to the shop later this evening and i'll get all the info from the lable.

There are 2 ways to put foam flotation in the boat. I am not being a smart as_. Right and wrong places. Copy from a new boat that has VERY same layout as yours.--------- If at all possible. Keep all the foam block or spray in place in the TOP HALF of hull. Correction, Keep it all in the top half. NOTHING in the bottom 1/2. Use ONLY marine foam. OIL, GAS OR SUNLIGHT--- WILL NOT attack it.---------Home Depot types will dissolve.

Thanks for the advice. Will have to decide what to use and your straightforward advice as to sing home depot has me re-thinking.
Thanks,

Hey I know a scottish guy who is rebuilding a boat....hey it's you. :D

Go to Crestliners sight and you will see them adding the foam. I have seen foam at the back and foam at the front.Mine is at the nose and the two upper back corners (3ft x 1ft).

Have fun.

Will check out the crestliner site. Will probably go with the two part foam and will check around for pricing. Think I only need the small container as the back of my boat still has foam and it seems ok, it is the front that needs it and the centre.
Thanks,

Try this link and hit the factory tour. They put their foam throughout, and put foam seats over the ribs to allow water to drain down.
