Re: float question(s)

Filling the float with will increase it's strength, but will decrease the flotation. Flotation is a function of the volume of water displaced (not changed) and the weight (increased). If you are worried about flotation, get a bigger float or add a second float behind the first, or get a bigger float. There are some pretty sophisticated bluewater floats out, there, but be prepared $$$.
