Hi Steve, Just so you hear a dissenting opinion, I removed the much of foam pieces from bow chamber and installed a bladder style 14 gal water tank in the space.
The boat sails much better with the weight in the bow. I am willing to take my chances with flooding the boat with water. I have no thru hull fitting and the boat has never been close to taking on water. With adequate precautions, like putting in the hatch boards and keeping the hatch closed in very rough conditions I feel perfectly safe. A couple of the 12x12s had worn themselves down to 10x10s with friction and I felt that if really needed them they would float away. I removed two of them. I hope I don't hit a submerged container in the Bay!
