i also did experiments with the ping pong balls and the same volume of balls will float the same amount of weight as the same volume of foam. its pretty close. but the bottom line is to have it be maintinance free. i refuse to have any foam in this build. the balls will be helt in by the tray alone.

i have 1152 38mm plastic beer pong balls. they are not crushable. i think it will take most of them. i will be postind info and pics tomorrow of bouyancy testing. i actually have a fairly acurate measurement of how much weight they can hold up in the event of a sinking.

the structure portion is coming soon. but i have come up with a way to make it strong under the feet and still maintain a relitive light weight layup.

i also pump dumped the scupper. the final plan will have the tray widened to around 16.5 inches and it will be filled with ping pong balls. a few friends of mine and myself had a discussion about this and came to the conclusion that the amount of space that the ping pong balls do not take up...

i closed up the stock exhaust and my original scupper location. after that i cut in drain plugs and cut the side exhaust outlet.

i have an older hot rods crank that i just took out of my motor. i was told it was from a tme when they were made by Wiseco. could this crank be made into a stroker crank or is it worth rebuilding, or should it just be sent in as a core? the crank doesnt have any damage just noisy bearings.
