Shermie the foam was a two part product it didn't say anything else on the label but part A and Part B it was from Guildfords where chezz used to work. I was given it to use in a boat project that I was gonna do, but this one was actually going to get finished so we gave it a try and it worked great, now I will be getting more for my project if I ever start it It worked very well and man did it grow fast
I just got off the phone with Johnny he finished the Glassing and painting yesterday I was over to his place friday afternoon and helped grind and glass the bottom of the hull to fix a couple of dings it looks very good I am really looking forward to the sea trials (gotta test the Reserve Bouancy and do some trim and incline trials) In civy language that meens fill it with water and see if the frigger will stay afloat, if worst happens and a wave fills her at anchor then we know what to expect

Awesome job!!!
You could probably add a couple more bungee's to the bow to carry another set or two of long lines..
Can't wait to see the carnage!!

Wow- thats a totally new boat now! Those poor ducks won't know what hit them. ;D So you put in expanding foam to increase the swamped bouyancy? I always thought thats where the camo Gumby suit came in handy.... ;D

Looks like just the ticket to save my waterpump in the future over Fundy way! I wonder how long it will be before the wife notices the motor gone off her weed-whacker? -Croc
