Regarding Boyancy Displacement Bladders...
Sit-ins...pungos, etc, handle better if the extra weight of stuff is stored behind the seat...
The space up in front of the foot pegs is best filled with an inflatable bladder.
If you DUMP and the boat takes on major gas, the bladder will lend floatation and displace a large volume that would otherwise weight what feels like a gazillion poundz...which can eventually be evacuated if you have a bilge pump and/or bucket and/or sponge...in descending order of effectiveness.
