Doug,
The previous owner had removed the foam from my 82' M15 and I haven't
been inclined to replace it. I installed a large type-27 deep cycle battery
in the forward locker, instead. I agree that the added weight forward makes
a difference in the handling of the boat. If I decide to add some kind of
flotation in the future, it will probably be a bunch of plastic milk jugs
(tied together) that can also double as fresh water storage when needed for
longer cruises, but will revert back to flotation when the fresh water has
been used.
