Todd I am probably the one you are speaking of. I have a 1974 model =
Rhodes like you. I got my foam from Tapplastics at www.tapplastics.com. =
I used (2) 2 gallon kits to fill my v-berth. I have modified my v-berth =
section and it is about 4" lower than original, but I filled the entire =
area so that should be enough for you. Read the directions carefully, =
when this stuff kicks it really expands fast, so leave space in the top =
of your mixing container. I experianced this the hard way. I have =
pictures of the work on my boat but they are photographs. I'm not a =
computer guru like some on the list but I would share them with you by =
mail. As Roger says defender has foam and so does Jamestown Dist. at =
www.jamestowndistributors.com and they also have a lot of hardware and =
fasteners for working on boats. Good luck on your rebuild, mine's =
driving me crazy.

Subject: [Rhodes22-list] V-berth flotation
All,
Recently I read about someone with a boat about the same year as =
mine (1974) that did not contain, or it had been removed, the foam =
flotation under the v-berth. I can not remember where I was reading it =
or must have deleted the e-mail without copying it to my files.
Someone (I think it was Roger) posted a suggestion for expanding =
foam to be used to fill this area. Can anyone help with a suggestion?
Todd
