I have XPS foam under the deck in my Kingfisher. We originally put it in there under the old deck when I first did the fixup so that we could repair some leaks below deck. Then we put new foam sections in and reinstalled the old deck and used the boat that way for a couple of years.
Then when I started the full restoration later on, we pulled the old deck out and there was no corrosion of any kind where the foam was sitting on the inside of the hull. So, we installed the foam again and covered with the new deck. It's been almost 2 years since the restoration and there's no sign of corrosion in the bilge area.
YMMV.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
