I'm still working on my 15ft Monty and noticed that the old styrofoam is breaking up . That's in both the front and back areas , at the back there was just two small blocks about 8x10 inch by 1ft . I'm thinking of either filling the areas with some of the building foam in aerosol cans , or using sailing dinghy buoyancy bags . Anyone done either or have any ideas why one shouldn't do either Thanks in advance for any comments KLaas
I filled both the front compartments (under the cushion) and the rear area under the cockpit with pool noodles (closed cell foam) that I bought on sale at the end of the summer season. I can't say for sure that the buoyancy is adequate for my M15's 750 pounds plus another 400 pounds for two adults and equipment, but I pretty much filled up all the storage space she has!

I've not done these things but if you go with spray foam, get the low expansion foam. It's the cans rated for door and window frame filler. If you're filling a compartment, first line the space with an open plastic bag, then spray foam into the bag. That way the foam won't bond to the hull/bulkheads. -----Original Message----- From: Klaas <santaklaas@telus.net> To: Montgomery boats groups <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Mon, Feb 27, 2012 7:29 pm Subject: M_Boats: Buoyancy I'm still working on my 15ft Monty and noticed that the old styrofoam is reaking up .

jerry's M15s had a couple of large blocks of foam that sit in the 'box' formed between the bulkheads and stringers that support the cockpit floor (ie, foam is a large rectangle under the cockpit floor). no foam is in the port and starboard cockpit locker spaces. the forward v-berth space is filled with 'artfully cut' pieces of foam that is shoved to fit and fill 90% of the forward 2/3rd of the v-berth. the hatch (jerry calls it a 'bin cover') that provides access into the forward section of the v-berth should be screwed shut so the forward foam can't get out if the boat is swamped. the lockers port and starboard of the potti space are for storage, not foam. 'spray in' foam may be the only option (besides pool noodles, or flotation bags) to correct any missing foam issue under the cockpit. i recommend a non-spray solution to the forward portion of the v-berth. the foam used by jerry was expanded polystyrene (EPS). if you are near golden, CO, i can provide some for a M15 revitalization project.

Dave, What would happen if you take all the styrofoam out of the forepeak and under the cockpit. Would it affect the boat's sailing or stability? Or is it's purpose only in case of capsize or swamping, to keep the boat afloat?

Foam is only to keep the boat from sinking, should it develop a hole or capsize.

Nancy, The styrofoam is strictly in place to provide positive buoyancy in case of swamping the boat. The lead / steel in the keel will help right the boat should you capsize.

You guys are going to laugh. I drink box wine, and if you remove the plastic bags from the boxes, you can blow them up and they work well for floatation for a season (heck, they could last forever, I don't know...).

Dave, Since GRP is less than twice as dense as water, there is no reason to fill all the nice storage areas with foam. More foam than necessary will not make the boat float much higher if it is full of water. The most important buoyancy is from the air inside the cabin, so it is a good idea to close the hatches if the chance of taking a wave or getting knocked down is greater than zero. I am speaking from hard experience here; until you have tried sailing a full bathtub, you just can't imagine the difficulty. Frankly, I was amazed that some skippers at Havasu were racing with open boats, when the conditions were quite exhilarating. TJ On Feb 28, 2012, at 7:10 AM, W David Scobie wrote:
