a floatable foamie?

Why not? It could be for ponds and small lakes, or canals (hey Brits! a shortie foam weekender narrowboat?)

If a foamie was epoxy/fiberglass on the bottom and about 12" up the sides, it would float, I bet. You could also inject some floatation foam in strategic places to make it unsinkable (if it already wasn't). I would rest it on the trailer, and tie it down with cargo straps.

Yep, read that thread from 2007-2012.

But the world has turned and the knowhow of foamies has progressed too.
