I was researching this awhile ago, i know the Boston Whalers have foam and are pretty much unsinkable. I read that once you have a leak, the foam makes the boat incredibly heavy due to the water.

This is why i have not done it. I am not sure if i want to be hauling a kayak with drenched foam.

I am pretty ignorant regarding this whole foam in the hull thing.
