Default Nitro Hammer

Has anyone opened up the bow of the Hammer to see what's behind the wooded plate behind the engine? Any flotation devices?

It's supposed to have a block of styrofoam in there.

Hopefully someone will get curious and check it out. Whatever it is I know it's enough to keep it afloat in a inversion. I seen a video of a hammer that flipped and it stayed a float quit well, however I wonder if it would sink if the hatch was off? Do you think that's enough to keep it up?

Without the top on the hammer will sink like a rock. There is nothing in front of the wood, it is just air. Many people say to seal the front with silicone or epoxy.
