Best flotation I ever saw was a guy in Arkansas. I built him a nice motor, claimed his boat was still slower than I expected. It was a factory floor and walls in the boat. I told him to remove the floor and walls and replace the flotation. He claims that he weighed the flotation he removed, it was over 300 pounds. He replaced the flotation with clear plastic water bottles, hundreds of them. He stuffed them under the floor to prevent squeaks. Boat came out great, runs like a scalded dog now, no squeaks. I just thought that was a very innovative idea. I would never have thought of that, but if one leaks there are hundreds more to take it's place and they will NEVER soak up water.
Might be worth looking into since you are installing a new floor.
