Bouyancy of Fibreglass hulls??

[Me_Again]

Hi all,<br /><br />I have a Savage Envoy (4.42metre fibreglass)Australian hull. I was wondering if / what the inbuilt buoyancy is. Only ask as I've heard some people place inflated rubber tubes under the front bulkhead to keep the bowtip sticking out of the water in case of a boat full of water. Any ideas.<br />Much appreciated<br />Cheers

Fiberglass is heavier than water so it will sink. If boat has room under floor then spray closed cell foam under floor. If no room under the floor then fill area under all seats with closed cell foam.
