I think what you need is called epifoam and comes in blocks that are used for dock floatation as well as boat applications. It can be cut to size very easily and marinas or dealerships may be able to help you out. If it is a closed area that needs floatation, you may be able to use the expandable foam, spray-in, insulation...the kind sold at lumber companies to seal larger gaps in construction. If you use a product of this sort remember to fill the void only 2/3 full as the expanding product will, and can, go way beyond where you want it to fill. If it does, it too can be pared back with a utility knife. Hope this helps out.

Foam gets is buoyancy from trapped air. If your foaming under a floor you will want a foam with a closed cell. A foam that isn't closed cell will suck up water in time. You can get sheets of foam (pink stuff)at Menard's. Theres also products that are 2 part mix that you pour into cavity's.

If you mean floatation because your boat sits too low in water, you won't help anything adding foam. That's just for a boat that capsizes and sink, it will give floatation and won't go under in a blink of an eye.
It would be better if you explain what you have in mind, and we can try to help you better.

Thanks

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Great news, thank Skunked
