    How about a picture so we can visualize what you are proposing, assuming you haven't already done it.

    EPS foam is available locally for me from a foam mfg.and working with the foam is no problem...just can't get the flotation in the right spot yet...

    If you go back to page two my foam pontoon photos are posted there...gives a clear view of what I put under my boat. It worked well but I can still submarine the bow if one adult is up front when I back off the throttle...think it changed the balance front to rear because it sat higher and rocked forward more than before installed.
