I built all the boats on this forum with the exception of the folding boat from recycled shipping foam. If you go to tractor supply or anywhere that sells utility trailers they should have it laying everywhere. They use it as spacers while shipping the trailers.It is about 19 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches . Some places will give it to you other will not. I also can get it from a local hardware store where I live.

Sumo,
How do you keep the blocks of foam in place, do you glue them together? are you welding your frame?

The foam blocks are gluedtogether, the frame also is made in a way that also prevents the blocksof foam from coming apart, the frames are welded.

I traded my truck for a jeep so I came up with little rack to haul my boats when I don't want to pull a trailer.
