I used two part pour foam between hull and ice box on my 35-1. Depending on its density, pour foam has a few times times the R value of spray foam. Pour foam comes in various densities, 2 lb, 4 lb, etc. Some are USCG approved, some are not.
Pour foam requires a bit more care and planning than spray foam but may be worth the effort. Pour foam will get into nooks and crannies that spray foam will not. Either foam requires room to expand or it will damage the ice box. Pour foam comes in various densities, 2 lb, 4 lb, etc. Some are USCG approved, some are not. Two part pour foam can be purchased from fiberglass, insulation and industrial suppliers for less than marine suppliers. I bought mine from Branton Industries.
