IIRC the white foam board can't be in a spot where gasoline can disolve it. There you need polyurethane.

The fuel tank is in the back.
When I get around to it, I may shave off an inch off the bottom to prevent any contact with fuel or even water.
Just got the finial bill for the rebuild of our 7.2 (454ci) marine engine. Needed all new hoses and belts, stater alternator and distributor , new fuel supply system went in . In the end we jacked up the carburetor and put a new motor under it.$21k . 17yr old boat. Used boats ughhhh.

11k for rebuild , then add starter / alternator , fuel pump. distributor , fuel supply plumbing . Marine starters/ alts all have to be sealed units , no spark allowed in the big fiberglass box and your at 20k before you blink.

For those interested in preparing for the boaters exam or just want to brush up their water smarts, CT has the BOATsmart!® Canadian Boating Licence Study Guide on clearance for $7.93. I picked one up as they kids are interested in doing their boat license.
NOTE:
Most locations are sold out of this handbook. The ones that have it, will have it at the clearance price. I managed to get the last two at a Brampton location. A quick search showed there are two at the Liberty Village location and 5 in Midland, ON. There may be others, I didn't check them all. Not sure what the "Ship to Home" looks like from CT.
I did notice there was another study guide next to this one. Canada Boat Safety Study Guide, PCOC Study Guide. Not sure what the difference is but I did notice it a few pages thicker and it was $17.99.
I am guessing its just two difference organization putting out their own material.
YMMV

If anyone hates having money and wants to relive the 80's, here is your boat. Quad 454's. ~80 gph at cruise. Better than the turbine versions of this boat that are ~300 gph at cruise. You can probably buy this boat for close to zero but it will cost to get it relocated.

Here's another boat that needs relocation:

That's a lot of scratch!
A crate 454 runs about $8K. Replacing parts for fuel systems, belts, hoses, water pumps, ignition, alternator, electricals, gaskets and chemicals with top quality stuff adds $1K on the cheap, $3K using quality parts.
That leaves $11K for re&re labor. Oof!
Is that boat part of a condo corporation?
