By the way, all the water that the foam can possibly hold might amount to 5-10 gallons. So we're only talking about 80 pounds extra weight. They never really do (or can) dry out.

Cool deal, glad that boat got another life, it was a nice one.

When I replaced the floor on my 16'Bonito I poured two part clsed cell foam to fill twiz the hull and floor thruout. It really helped solidfy the hull but, didn't help a bit keeping it from sinking.
Twice. I've also seen Boston Whalers sink...not to the bottom but, down to the bow light.

We bought a 1987 14' mckee craft CC fisher. *Its the neatest little center console I've ever seen! * She flat out scoots with a 1988 40hp evinrude. *

Got her for $1800. *I'll put up a post of the lil Blue either tonight or tomorrow time permitting. *

My mom said we should name it the DAWG! * Funny cause I never even mention that to her - she thought of it on her own! *;D

I've got several screw holes to fill in the deck where they removed some pedistals - luckily they put the screws back in or the floor would be crap. *It has bottom paint and rather than remove I think we'll just paint back over it. *Controls are a little stiff. *The trailer is a painted steel trailer - I'm not real happy about it but whats a man to do? *

Anyway those are the negatives....positives are it has a big fish box in the front that is over 40" wide! * Also a neat center console with lots of room and storage. *Rub rail and rails are in A1 shape. *She cleaned up like gem. *Has power tilt/trim. *I didn't have my GPS with me but I swear it felt like close to 40mph with 2 people! *

It has a depth/fish finder. *I'm going to invest $35 to buy an extra power cable and mounting bracket for my Garmin GPS so I can use it on either boat. *;) *

I don't know anybody that didn't like a Whaler or McKee.
If there were any others, they just learned to live with it. ;D
