Thread: LET RESTORE BEGIN

Thank you Hanr3, better explained than I was doing... If I'm not mistaken, and my memory serves me correctly, it's 1 square foot of flotation foam, (12x12x12) will float 60 lbs or 62 lbs. what the tricky part is, for me any way, when you have so much height at the sides of the boat and so much in the middle. I was never real good at anything past adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. you go throwing angles into the figuring and I'm lost.
So a square foot is equal to 144 inches, If I figure this right, then every 144 inches of foam equals a square foot, floats 60 lbs.? ok well I know what I have to do, and how much room I have to do it in. It will all work out in the long run. Brain hurts to much from trying to wrap around the figures...Weather today, as well as weekly house chores prevented boat work today. So sorry to report once again, I was not able to get outside and get anything productive done on my boat project. Their is always tomorrow. I did sneak over to wally world and get me a bilge pump, ( no install kits available their today), a qt of 2cycle marine grade oil to mix with the gas, a measuring device, a life jacket, and some other odds and ends, so it wasn't a complete wasted day. Well folks that's all for now. will update more later. Eric, AKA "jamesdean" In clarification, it's 144 inches of foam one inch thick to float 60 lbs...Eric
