Doesn't sound like the weight savings is worth it. Are these bladders cheaper than aluminum tanks?

Foamed in using two pour foam densities 8 and 4 Pound.Here is a fishing boat going together.

Just looking at that picture make me itchy....

LOL we get used to the zillion micro splinters and it is all about the love affair we have with these boats that helps block out the "uncomfortable" conditions.

Basic rules learned in my first marrage: 1.NEVER allow a single piece of your work clothing to EVER get mixed with hers in the wash,or even think about using her car to run for a beer after work.
