[QUOTE="Whidbeyboater, post: 513921, member: 35394"] A few pics of foam install so far. Started trying to cut the pieces perfectly to size. Ended up just cutting strips and packing what ever I can into the voids. I am okay with it not being perfect. I figure some air gaps will help with draining and allow it to dry out better and it will be easier to remove if I ever need to service or inspect under the floor. I have heard some people say this foam board can squeak. Anyone have experience with that? I can’t imagine it making too much noise under the floor. I don’t really care if it makes noise while cruising around as the engine and wind will likely be louder. I just don’t want to hear squeaking and sounds while trolling with an electric motor or on anchor. I am not too worried about it but if someone had an issue I might consider adding some glue or something. Also some pics of the console. Wasn’t planning on doing anything other than pressure washing. But now that the boat is coming together and will be pretty much all new looking I decided I need to get a fresh coat of paint on the console to match. [/QUOTE]
