No, I thought the foam is only for flotation purpose. Thanks for your reminder.
I laid one more layer of fiberglass cloth to most of the bottom hull, hope that will give extra structural support. I don't have plan to add foam in at this time.
Update of my project:
installed stringers: middle one is marine grade plywood, the two on each side are pressure treated lumber. I read a lot about not using lumber as stringers, but I don't want to purchase expensive marine ply, plus that lumber sits in my garage for over year taking space.

I decided to complete the restoration project by my self after a few days...
The secondary resistance of three coils: 1985ohms for the two old one, 2650 ohms for the new one. New coil is higher than old one. Primary resistance all about 0.5ohms.
Maybe it's not a good angle. all three throttle plates are closed. I have updated new video after installing power pack and one ignition coil. How do you think the sound now.
Installed one new coil first, tried, it's still as before. then I installed the new power pack, the following video is...
Hello Raceone,
