I see under the center hatch there is foam blocks in front and rear, so if I take those out are they there for floor support or buoyancy?? I will practice trying to stow my 7' rods from front and secure the reels also.

Those as support for the deck. Take me out and you will get premature cracks

That's what I thought they were thanks. Love the Yak but IMO stupid design flaw if you need foam to support floor.
