International Marine sent me the premolded closed-cell foam for the bow. IM cut it up into 8 pieces to ship it. Here's a pic of the assembled "jigsaw puzzle". I had to cut the largest 2 pieces in half to fit it thru the locker openings. I assembled it, piece-by-piece in the bow, and filled some of the gaps between pieces wiith an aerosol can of closed cell foam to "glue" it in place. I covered the exposed surface of the foam with marine-grade, mildew-resistant vinyl fabric, to have an attractive, neat and abrasion resistant finish. I used 3M spray SuperAdhesive to glue the vinyl to the foam.
