how much does flotation foam weigh? Would the reduction in weight be worth removing flotation foam from under the floor and in the bow? I am considering removing the foam in my beavertail to shave a few pounds

Actually the foam is not heavy at all, unless ofcourse it is waterlogged. Foam and my boat seats combined were maybe 5 lbs.

I removed the seats out of a friends boat earlier this week that were waterlogged... I removed about 100lbs of waterlogged slop.

if it is dry, leave it. if it water logged remove it/

yea ive been wondering the same thing as well i have a xpress bayou 18 and went to add a pedistal to the rear flotation the other day and it was full of water. now i just need to figure out how to get it all out.
