Anyone know the size (length) of the foam flotation block inside the H14 hull? I have a 14 with a very slight bulge in the side of the hull in line with the forward pylon. I was thinking of installing an inspection port behind the front pylon to take a look and reinforce if necessary, but now I’m wondering if the foam block is going to obstruct access to the pylon.

Blocks are pretty small around and long. Not in the way.

It's normal to have the bulge there. It's the attachment inside the hull for the pylon.
