[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 275521, member: 6937"] Amen to that!! This is why I prefer to use foam board, because, unlike poured-in factory foam, the board allows water to flow underneath, through the gutter system of the boat. Factory foam always seems to be clogged in the gutters (anyone that doubts that...dismantle a few factory boats, and you'll see what I mean) Not only does this provide poor drainage, and not only can the foam begin to get saturated (even with closed cell foam) it also leads to poultice corrosion between the aluminum and the foam, eventually causing hull damage.
