Thanks again guys..I think I found some and it is rather expensive. What about the blue stuff I've seen some of you carve out to fit a transducer? Where can I find that?

It's actually for a school project I'm working on with my 13 year old daughter.

Hit up a swap meet in your area and buy a used Boogie Board. If thats the type of foam you are looking for.

if you want to use the blue stuff for a transducer you can always buy those pool noodles for a few bucks and cut off part of the end. i have also seen some big cyclical foam in the exercise equipment section at target on sale. it is for some type of yoga or palettes thing.

Good idea with the pool floaty things

I have some white closed cell "plastic" foam that is 2" THK but 8.5" x 12". LMK if you want it and we'll figure out how to get it to you. I'm in Huntington Beach.

Some military suplus type places carry it. Oxmans in La Mirada had that type of stuff, but they may be closed for renovations

haha...that's funny, we have all done those. I have three little girls and I've done them with my two oldest..one more mission project to go and its smooth sailing...haha
This project is more science / physics...mass, weights, densities, buoyancy...etc
