Flotation won't make it float any higher.

more surface area = more water dispalcement, the foam is heavier than air and only comes into play when it is submerged.
A longer boat will help float it better, this is why people put the pods on the back of boats.

it would be like saying that if you have more life jackets in your boat it will sit higher in the water
