pontoon question

dont know but the fiber glass self layed is going to add a lot of weight and it will set lower in the water...styrofoam is put out by dow chemical and is 98% air...it is a closed cell foam and is used by the navy for flotation in some applications...its the weight of the fiber glass that would concern me...to me the ideal pontoon would be aluminum filled with styrofoam but that is cost prohibitive..
