Bgreene your V21 should have foam in it already. Or are you just wanting to add to what is there?

Bingo, my thought exactly. Probably can't see it without some poking around though. It should have two part foam poured in place from the stringers out as well as around the fuel tank.

I read somewhere about the relationship of added weight vs. added displacement.......you should really look into it. My understanding was that it was not a great idea. I'll see what I can dig up......

Maybe it does have foam already. If so, no need.

If it were me I'd stuff the foam noodles in the gunnels before I added anything permanent. The foam around my original fuel tank was the reason for it rotting out.

Take out the rod boxes and stick your hand down below the floor level just under the forward rod holder. You should feel foam. Should be able to see it with a light. If your rod holders aren't plumbed to the bilge the foam is probably WET if it has sat out in the rain.
