[QUOTE="waterant, post: 508007, member: 34810"] Some more progress today. Seats with new seat bases and rigid foam for flotation and support were installed back. This is the same type as the pink foam from home depot. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000020030.jpg"]118202[/ATTACH] I loosely glued 2" pieces together with construction glue compatible with the foam, cut drain channels and sealed with the water based wood floor finish which I have left from another project. If you will be buying paint for this anyway, epoxy based garage floor paint will work well to seal the foam and there are some inexpensive options. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000020033.jpg"]118207[/ATTACH] second big box with a closable drain was installed, attached and cut 1/2" above the beams to give it a lip or whatever it's called to keep water going around it and not inside. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000020046.jpg"]118203[/ATTACH] I added drain holes in every compartment and sealed all the edges with Sika 291 marine sealer. This was a great find. It's similar to 3M 5200 to be used above and below waterline but it's less expensive and way easier to work with. I've got grey color but it's actually almost black. They have white as well which I will use to seal outside edges before installing the EVA foam. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1000020037.jpg"]118206[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
