Sandy -- I had the exact same idea, having recently used a few cans of
"Great Stuff" in a home project. It would fill up any shaped area
completely with lightweight, waterproof foam.
I can understand not wanting to waste valuable storage space with large
blocks of styrofoam, but why NOT fill up those areas that cannot be used
for storage -- what about inside the cockpit coamings, for instance?
One downside might be the expense -- I'm not really sure what volume of
foam you can get from one can, but I doubt it would be so large as a single
cubic foot. On the other hand, this solution, if it worked, would be so
elegant and so effective that it might be worth it.

Subject: Re: M_Boats: Positive Floatation
I don't own a monty and have no experience with positive flotation. I do
have a suggestion as to how to add it however.
If you opened up a heavy duty plastic bag inside an empty space on
the boat and sprayed insulation foam from a can into the bag, The expanding
foam would fill the space completely. The plastic bag would keep it from
sticking to the hull and make cutting it out easier if needed.
The plastic bag could be replaced with any container or shape that
would suit your purpose such as making a cooler or storage space.
