Hello Listees,
I apologize for doublng up on this topic.  There was a thread regarding
injecting foam or similar flotation between hulls on older boats and
dinghies.  I just bought a Manitou tri-hull dinghy and would like to inject
some type of foam or flotation between the hulls..  It is a male-female, two
piece hull with probably not much space between the hulls.  I tried
searching with all the various topics regarding dinghies, foam, flotation,
etc with no luck.  I would appreciate anyone who was involved with that
thread pointing me to the topic header.  I remember reading the comments,
but don't recall the resolution and options.  Thanks in advance for any
input and assistance,.
Best regards,

Hi Michael...

if you step onto your swimplatform and look to your right...  you will see
the dink that i built sitting on top of my boat :-)

i used this to fill the hulls and the space under the floor :

now very easy to work with as it's hard to mix and you only have 20" till it
starts expanding.  you'd have to drill holes big enough and pour the right
amount quickly...
