I don't use float bags in my SOF's but I've read where some people will run strings to the ends of the boat so they can pull the float bags in and out with less effort. I wouldn't use the foam as it will make it harder for the boat to dry out. If you want more details about the string method check with the Greenland Kayaking forum- http://www.qajaqusa.org/cgi-bin/GreenlandTechniqueForum_config.pl
