<No foam insulation?>

Ron, it is insulated.  Just no pics to show it.  The hull has closed-cell
sheet insulation above the waterline, the engine compartments have
sound-reducing insulation, and the cabin has plain old pink polystyrene
boards.  

No blown in foam - my last aluminum boat had that and it absorbed water over
the years, increasing the weight of the boat substantially.
