Do these V's float when water filled ?

Now you got me wondering about whether or not to foam fill my V.

The Coast Guard has boats that are self righting. But hull design, watertite doors, and tons of weight down bottom make it so. Its all about center of gravity.

A cubic foot of foam provides 64lbs of bouyancy. 40 cubic feet of foam should keep a V20 afloat if filled with water. ( i wont use the "u" word)

If you take a wave over and fill the cockpit with water, your best bet is probably to get it on plane, and get the scupppers above the waterline. Problem is, these scuppers suck. A squid will clog them. Hell two acorns will almost stop it up.
