Re: Should i foam it ??
Carl
I hope I don't bring you bad news but if that frame was only in there to hold the foam and now you glassed it in to help provide structural support you may have put the hull in a rigid bind (not let the hull flex) which may cause stress cracks. I've never done the numbers on my V-20 (i/o) but I know if you move or make a new gas tank up fwd it adds additional weight to that area fo the bow and may not let the bow relax after take off and cause a binding area with the new gas tank and additional port to stbd framing. If you just galssed it in and didn't fully secure it prior to glassing then just glasssing it won't cause a 100% rigid member.
