Thanks that's what I'm going to get.
Rebuilt my 16' bass attacker 5 years ago. Used 1/8" aluminum sheet for the floor. Attached it directly to the floor stringers with # 8 stainless steel screws. (Counter sunk) Before I screwed everything down I used a hole saw to cut several holes to add foam. The canned foam that you get at the hardware store is exactly the same as the mixed kind! I researched that thoroughly. The holes not only allow you to place the foam, they allow the foam to flow evenly without swelling during curing. I fish about 3 day a week year round (weather permitting) and have never had a water soak issue with this foam. People that have water soak issues are the ones that leave there boat uncovered and out in the weather. I hope this helps.

You need the kind of stuff the swimming pool noodles are made of. You can find it in sheets on the net but you can also use the noodles...just cut them in half length wise and overlap the side by side between the ribs of boat. Good luck.
