Octane Do Octane Hoods Float?

[VXSXH20]

More importanly , Are the stock hoods filled with any floation material? I know that the have a pretty lack luster attachment to the hull and can easily come off. My hood insert inside the hood shell is starting to seperate at the bonded joints and the green glue is is flaking off. I didnt know if these things float or could foam be added up inside near the intake tubes in case it came off agian. I will be running a brap strap, But you never know what could happen.

anyone put hand holds on a factory hood? Are they durable enough? Mine is splitting and coming apart at all the seams, (the Sh*tty green epoxy-not the actual Glass) I plan on scraping it all out and roughing the surfaces, re-adhering it with either some peanutbutter resin or the West Six-10 in a tube? anyone else have this issue?

Sure, they float like a rock....

I lost my hood and had my ski sank in the ocean. So no they do not float. I would also recommend hood straps.
