Is my C-22 the only one without inner flotation?

I am repairing a C-22 built in 1968. After crawling around inside I noticed the lack of any visible inner flotation. I did not see any styrofoam,or anything that looked as if it would help keep the boat afloat if (God forbid) it would flip over. Is there a product I can install to give me a little peace of mind should the worst happen? Any advice is going to be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sailorh,

C 22 flotation

Cant say that I have ever seen a C 22 with flotation. Mine doesnt have any but it has never been of concern. I had a Venture l7 at one point in my life and had the same concerns. I filled all available spaces with closed cell styrofoam and, at one time, considered some of the chemical expansion products but just never got around to using it.

My mistake

oops...........I now see that you have a Columbia, not a Catalina. I have no experience with your boat but I hope that someone out there will have an answer for you.

Flotation of a C-22

There is no foam in a C-22. If ou fill all available spaces with closed cell styrofoam, you will lose all the using space...

fixed keel

If you have a fixed keel like my c-22 has, then you shouldn't have to worry about it tipping over, unless you get caught in a hurricane.
