[QUOTE="Shaugh, post: 432503, member: 19781"] no matter what kind of decking short of 3/4" you put on that edgewise foam you will be creating a lot of indentation wherever you're standing. That 200+ pounds will end up denting and degrading that thin foam edge very quickly. This type of egg carton frame works good on a waterbed for example where there is not a lot of direct pressure points but would not work well imo on a boat with thin decking above it. Much better to spread that foot sized loading over a much larger surface like a block of foam .... [/QUOTE]
