Evening Folks:

Have started rebuilding my newest project a 1980 18' with wings.

No sooner than when I took the boat to the car wash to try to start getting some of the almost quarter of a century worth of grit and grime...that I noticed....no foam in either hull.

Now I am pretty sure that Hobie never made an 18' without foam in the hulls (somebody correct me if I am wrong) so I suspect an ealier owner pulled the water logged foam out and never thought any more about it.

Ok gang, how do I put some floation back in? Are there ready made inflatables...or am I going to have to play around with some D.I.Y. foam in a heavy guage plastic bag? Am not comfortable at all thinking about sailing around off shore in Lake Michigan without hulls I know will float...even if holed or worse.

Anybody who has solved this problem...feel free to chime in!

Thanks In Advance,

Poor Paul
