My boat, on the sides where you can lay fishing poles, is carpeted, but beneath the carpeting on the side of the boat there is foam bulging out everywhere. Unevenly, like someone did it aftermarket, or it "expanded" .... Almost to the point the where the side compartments arent useable. Never really bothered me.... but im wondering if the foam somehow got wet or something and caused it to expand. Its really weird.... any ideas? Should i be concerned? You cant really tell because its carpeted, but i still worry about everything lol.

Re: Weird question

all that expansion happened within minutes of the foam being poured or sprayed..... it's fine.... if it bugs you trim it out

Re: Weird question

I've got it too, though it's not too bad on my boat. Just annoying if you're a perfectionist :)

Anyone have any suggestions for trimming it? Im thinking just a box cutter should do it!

Re: Weird question

box cutter pocket knife screw driver hammer whatever.... won't take much... if you are a perfectionist then cut it cleanly and coat it with some 2 part epoxy. then paint and wax to a mirror shine :D
