Being on LOTO, front panel damage is one of my concerns. I've been boating for 50+ years and this is our 4th pontoon, so I know what to do and not to do, but it's still a concern especially with a new boat. If you have experienced LOTO on a summer weekend you know even the best of drivers can still get caught off guard in the washing machine and take water over the front.
I'm not sure I want to tear into our new boat, but I think if I took the front seats out, made a curved form behind the front panel and poured expandable foam about 3/8" - 1/2" thick it would really strengthen the front panels. After the seats are back in you wouldn't even see it.
Anyone ever do anything like this?
