[QUOTE="Gman4, post: 427042, member: 21897"] Does anyone know exactly what kind of non water absorbing close cell foam to buy as inserts to lay under the subfloor? I see guys using foam board you can buy from Lowes or Home Depot, I do want to replace the foam from the back bench just in case Coast Guard does board my vessel and notices no foam in the Bench. That way, I could at least tell them I replaced the foam in the subfloor for flotation and safety purposes. However, since the subfloor is going to be welded and permanent, I want to make sure I put the right type of foam in place so I won't have waterlogged foam in my boat that would weigh it down and be very difficult to take out if need be! I did read in other sites that the foam boards you buy in the hardware stores will over time absorb water, thats why I was a little hesitant on replacing the foam. Any advise would be appreciated!
