Plastic under foam

[TheViking]

I'm relacing foam under the floor of a 17' Mirrocraft aluminum boat. The original foam is surrounded top and bottom with a thin plastic liner. It certianly did make things easier when removing the old foam. It there any other reason why they use a plastic liner around the foam?

Perhaps to try and keep water from being absorbed into the foam. Kind of a water proof barrier ?

They do that in packing-for-shipment. The thin-film plastic is put in place and the foam is sprayed in. Less messy that way.

We dont get much action over on this forum eh?

All aluminum boat leak sooner or later. Its a lot easier to repair that way.
