[QUOTE="nlb34, post: 500886, member: 33489"] I used Owens Corning Foamular polystyrene 2" thick foam board insulation, the pink stuff. It cuts very easy with a sharp razor blade, I marked and cut each side which was deep enough to snap each piece apart. Any shaping was done with the razor blade as well. A saw would have just made a big mess. No glue needed for my boat as each seat holds 5 sheet perfectly tight. Note I did leave about a 3" gap off the bottom which will keep the insulation from sitting in water and also allow water to run under each bench seat. While I am sure other insulation would work I read that polystyrene should hold up over time both to water/ice and also wont break down and leave little white beads all over the boat. [/QUOTE]
