Sams has them interlocking floor mats... Home depot and pep boys have em' too... They're about 1/2" thick and come as 2'x2' squares, 4-8 to a pack..

Re: where can I get neoprene?

There's lots of ways to solve that chaffing problem, including doing it right.<br /><br />Carpet padding will work, or the thickest self stick weather stripping at Home Depot.<br /><br />In years past; a buddy gave me a 16gal. poly tank that was about 5-6 years old from his crashed boat. I tossed a chunk of that green indoor/outdoor carpet the looks like grass under it and mounted in my project boat of the day.<br /><br /><br />That was 10 years ago. I just pulled that tank and put it in my new project boat. There was no damage or chaffing on its bottom, so I didn't feel bad putting in the new boat.<br /><br /><br />Basically: this is one of those deals that almost anything will work. Even strips cut from a old inner tube.
