Some were asking about my homemade flotation strips on my 14 foot John boat. They are 4 inches thick and 5 inches high,and 10 ft long. The boat is only 32 inches wide on the bottom so these really help with side to side stability when climbing in and out trapping.
I glued 2 inch by 8 ft. styrofoam strips together, cut and used a belt sander to make desired shape, than wrapped them with 4 inch duct tape. I positioned them just below the extruded rib on outside putting them about 2 inches above bottom of boat.
10 foot strips of heavy plastic lawn edging is on outside face for protection. The leading edge is angle cut and overlapped with a pc. of 6 inch alum.facia cut and bent to shape. I used 5/16 x 5 inch hex bolts with large washers to fasten strips along with spray foam to fasten them to boat.
On the inside I used rubber washers with silicone caulk behind the nut or they will leak. Silicone caulk, liquid nails,and spray foam are your friend in this process. Total cost wasn't over 80$ . As a side note I did have to raise my trailer bunks so boat would clear fenders now that it is wider. Hope this helps

Sorry, couldn't get other pics to upload.
