How many gallons are the bladders? Does the foam inserts reduce the capacity? Thanks for pics and info.

The bladders are comletely custom built to your specifications. Mine is right around 72 gallons (I have another 33 gal in a forward tank).

The foam baffling is 94% permeable, (that was my first question too...) so you lose 6% of your tankage capacity. That's obviously more than you'd lose to conventional baffles, but its easy and safe. It also supposedly helps keep the fuel from getting aerated when you are really pounding the boat, and keeps fuel at the pickup when the level runs low.
