Just so you hear a dissenting opinion, I removed the much of foam pieces from bow chamber and installed a bladder style 14 gal water tank in the space.
Doug, The previous owner had removed the foam from my 82' M15 and I haven't been inclined to replace it. I installed a large type-27 deep cycle battery in the forward locker, instead. I agree that the added weight forward makes a difference in the handling of the boat. If I decide to add some kind of flotation in the future, it will probably be a bunch of plastic milk jugs (tied together) that can also double as fresh water storage when needed for longer cruises, but will revert back to flotation when the fresh water has been used.
