[OMC-Boats] Foam insulation

Ann --I can't say whether using building insulation foam is a good idea or not. I assume it would work great, but others on the list may know for sure.As for using contractors for the foam though, my family (collectively) has DIY'd at least a dozen of the kits sold at the web sites below. They're fairly easy to use and MUCH cheaper than hiring it done, at least in our research.http://www.tigerfoam.com/www.foamitgreen.com

We have a one-family 1968 Evinrude Sportman. Last year we replaced the
engine with a 155 6 cylinder. The boat ran well but was sitting
heavy and listing, so this past winter we removed the floor and dug
out waterlogged flotation. The keel and stringers are now exposed.
We're thinking of contracting with a commercial foam insulation
contractor to spray on closed cell polyurethane foam insulation. Any
concerns or suggestions?
