Hi All. Hoping I can get some help on my Monark M1 14' daysailer. Yes, I said MonArk...note a lot of boats out there and I decided I needed this one.
My question is in regards to buoyancy. It's an open bow boat, with storage under each seat. I don't see anything that leads me to believe that it has any foam in it.
Since I'm not sure, I thought about adding some buoyancy to be safe. There are plenty of storage under the seats, I think I can fill them with pool noddles, closed cell phone, or something else. But would 2ea 1sq ft be adequate? The boat weighs roughly 300 lbs. I'm 230 lbs. Expect another 400lbs between people and gear.
Any help would be appreciated.
