Hi John,
Why flotation ? If the hulls are sound , you don't need it.

Andre, just to be on the safe side. Any deck flex due to those ports shown? John

John, No flex whatsoever, but I did a complete rebuild of my
fore-deck in a epoxy/foam construction.
Wich can be viewed here http://www.thebeachcats.c…nc=viewtopic&topic=15262
Since the deck is not straight, make sure you get portholes
wich open and close while they are a litle bend. They
must follow the slight bend of the deck
So, not the rigid ones. I scr**** up the first time
Grtz, André
