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.

Re: Should i foam it ??
Do the poly tanks have baffles in them ?? Someone told me no, so i went with alum.

I think if the Poly tanks want CG approval they have to be baffled... But I could just be baffled myself ::)

Re: Should i foam it ??
The 52 gal I have I don't believe has baffles in it. I don't believe the 40 gal I took out had baffles either.
garagenc, the frame I added is has a couple of screws to the stringer then glassed in. The frame that came out looked like someone messed around with it prior to me taking it out. It had some fiberglass on the lower half, but nothing on the upper half, which eventually made the whole thing mush. Carl
