No Foam?

[nymack66]

I did not wanted to jack the previous tread so I am posting here, My Hull is an 1984 V20 Cuddy, the floor looks 100% original.
There is NO FOAM anywhere, I did check...What am I missing?

Mine is an 86 and around the fuel tank is the only place i have seen foam.

mine is and 88 and now im not so sure there is foam. i figured it would be on the outboard side of the stringers.

Somewhere about 1977 the Coast Guard mandated floatation in boats up to a certain length, can't remember the length.
It is there, just likely in key locations.
I don't know if sealed air pockets were allowed to count as floatation.

look up under the gunnels, there's spray foam in there. The boat is supposed to float level full of water, too much flotation in the bottom would make it flip over when full of water. I believe flotation was required up to 20 ft, so your V may not have any. We used to have a 20 Sea Ox, not a bit of foam in it, just a bunch of soggy wood
