Yes: Malcom Campbell used it in one of his BlueBirds, trying to break the
world speed record on the water.
I saw the boat with the ping pong balls at the London Boat Show but that was
many years ago.
Right now we have better products like 2 part foam.
To be honest, I did not "see" the ping pong balls, they were inside the
boat.

Bear with me for a second.
I have been hearing about people using ping pong balls for floatation.
However, I can't find anyone who has actually done it.
It makes sense in that it will allow water to flow and not trap water in
the bilge. They should last a while and certainly easy to install.
Anyone have any first hand knowledge of doing this?
