I will have flotation located from bow to stern but will be filling the stern areas as much as possible to support the motor and battery.. more

You will need to figure the volume of the chambers under the floor and then go about 10% more to be sure. As mentioned, you will also want to compare the volume of foam and the weight of the boat/engine. Typically you do not need 100% of the weight of the boat for what is known as positive flotation. If the volume under the floor is inadequate though, it would be good to know, so you can put additional flotation elsewhere in the boat. here
For boats you want to use the 2-part pour-in urethane foam. the great stuff would not be a good solution and is far more expensive than the pour-in. here
Also, the foam adds a lot of strength to the boat itself, so long as you use the our-in kind of foam. [links]
A centiampere is a SI-multiple (see prefix centi) of the electric current unit ampere and equal to one hundredth of an ampere (0.01 A) [links]

Luminous intensity is the luminous flux emitted by a light source in a particular direction within a solid angle.
Advocates of plastic floats like them because they don’t take on water, they maintain their form, and they are available in a greater variety of shapes. They also perform better in ice, are unaffected by animals, and don’t require the additional wrapping that foam does. [links]
While there is much debate about the relative merits of foam vs. plastic, closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam is widely accepted as better than EPS which, over time, wicks up water (and possibly oil) and can lose buoyancy. Billets should be snugly encased in wire mesh and/or wood to protect them from gnawing wildlife, which will nibble the underside of your dock and spit out little pieces that end up littering the water. This is not good for the health of animals or the lake. more
DIYers will find foam-free, air-filled plastic floats easiest to work with, as they offer modular construction and are designed with mounting slots so they can be easily bolted to the wood decking. Avoid plastic floats with oddball shapes as they might be difficult to replace later. [links]
To resolve this labour issue for dockworkers, let’s start from the beginning. Buoyant foam billets are either expanded polystyrene (EPS)—the white granular material frequently used for beer coolers—or closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam, often known as Styrofoam BB. Plastic floats are generally made of a high-density polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) shell filled with air for buoyancy and sometimes expanded polystyrene for additional rigidity.
What’s most important for a long-lasting dock is the quality of the hardware, materials, and design. Buy all supplies from a good dock builder and find one who knows local conditions well.
Stopped in Wallmart to pick up some "slip bobbers" for a little crappie fishing, which I purchased. BUT, ALSO saw several "weighted bobbers". Dum me, purchased a couple of packs. but why/how do you use a "weighted bobber"?. Old Fart , but looking to learn!

So, what type of situations would call for a weighted bobber? Any! You can use weighted bobbers to catch pretty much any species of fish. You can also use them to fish in just about any type of water. You can use them in streams, rivers, lakes, ponds; you name it.
However, most anglers agree that the best use for a weighted bobber is wade fishing. It really helps to simplify the process and improves your ability to catch your targeted fish.
SHOULD YOU USE A WEIGHTED BOBBER?
See, when he said math I automatically went back to 10th grade and started daydreaming. LOL.
I hope that I don't lose the math challenged here :D ! more
Its not too hard to figure out how much weight a piece of pool noodle will really support. Remember, something floats because it actually displaces more water weight than it actually weighs. This is why a heavy metal ship floats. more
Easier way I use, is to pack as much noodle into the hull as you can. better to have too much than to have too little and risk having a 'sinking boat'.:D My mono stayed afloat when it flipped. [8D] [links]
anyone know what the lift capacity of a swimming noodle is?
If a boat were to weigh 20lbs would 2 standard swimming noodles keep it afloat?
