[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 384509, member: 13702"] +1 on replacing it only if it's water logged. I used very thin fiberglass sheet material that by itself would not support itself as a decking material, but with the foam behind it it's as hard as a rock. I used the same 2part expanding urethane that you've got in your boat from the mfg - polystyrene dissolves if you accidentally spill gasoline on it, and not that I fill gas in the boat or anything, but you never know when something is going to go wrong and I'd rather not have the foam supporting my floor dissolve away. Bottom line you should be fine supporting your rear deck with that foam material. [/QUOTE]
