Used 4" minicel foam to make bulkheads 'fore & aft, held in place with clear Lexel caulk/sealant. Poked a hole through the centers with a coathanger so that air can expand if it's out in the sun. Seat is carved out of the same 4" foam. Hatch is aft, a Beckson screw-top. (They're based in the next town over from us and had some factory seconds at a great price because the color wasn't up to their standard. Looked OK to me :))
