I did a factory tour this week and one thing I noticed is other than around the cooler they don't put foam anywhere. When watching Ranger and BassCat videos they foam the entire boat for extra flotation but Skeeter does not. Why is that?

Interesting
You must have missed that part of the tour. The boat is injected with foam in several areas. Its mandatory for NMMA certification. You can check out multiple videos on you tube. Skeeter factory tour comes to mind.

I checked youtube and it does show them putting foam in, never saw that step but guess it makes sense it is under the stringer so you wouldn't see it like you do with a Ranger.

I just took my 09 iclass seats out and it is foamed under there. not sure about anywhere else
Good, the less foam there is then the less to get waterlogged.
You can see the foam flotation in this video... Lil older boat but... Shows flotation in the back but not up front...
