Living in Portland gives you the chance to do all sorts of activities in the great outdoors, including boating. From cruising down the Columbia River to exploring the Willamette Valley or checking out the islands around the Multnomah Channel, Portland is an exceptional boating destination in the Pacific Northwest. Below are some advantages of using polyurethane foam for your marine vessel.
Spray-On Foam is ideal for extending the life of your boat by sealing against corrosion and the elements. It creates a waterproof seal that protects the marine vessel from damaging condensation and consistent exposure to the harsh elements. Polyurethane foam also increases drag for a smoother and safer ride. Passengers who easily become seasick in choppy waters will thank you for the less bumpy ride on high seas or rivers. When applied to the boat’s underfloor, spray foam greatly improves floatation. In fact, this versatile sealant provides 60 pounds of buoyancy per cubic foot.
Especially useful for small boats with loud engines, spray foam can quiet down the ride when applied to the hull or around other loud gear. This is a common complaint among small boat owners, as conversation aboard the vessel can be nearly impossible with a loud engine. Trying to have a peaceful day fishing on Puget Sound is made all the more difficult when loud equipment scares all the fish away. Spray foam is lightweight; it won’t slow down skiffs and other smaller boats with unnecessary weight.
While finding local waterways to go boating is a snap, boat maintenance can be another story. From damage caused by corrosion, harsh weather, and general wear and tear, marine vessels can cost thousands of dollars to repair structural damage. However, Portland marine insulation with Spray-On Foam makes insulation and protection from the elements easy and cost-effective.
