Yea it definitely struck me odd because I’ve never seen it in other people’s builds

It looks just like that green floral foam used for decorating, holds water just like it haha

Then most likely the floor was removed at one time and this stuff laid in. I had rectangular foam pieces on both side of my keelbox too in my Viper, but they were gold in colour. Or it is original and just happened to be green. Regardless, get rid of it, and dont replace it. Foam just traps water.
