The Loon that I used to have would float when filled. Not by much, though.
The floatation mostly comes from the foam between the plastic inner and
outer layers. It really needed extra positive floatation, via air bags or
something.

While the Loon is a good boat for a recreational boat, it does have its
limitations. Although I wish I still had it so I could take beginners out
on quiet water, I upgraded in boat because I could see that I was coming up
against its limitations.
