You can also get various kinds of foam in 4x8 sheets and sometimes 2x4 and 4x4 also, from your local building supply (sold as insulating foam, you don't need the highest insulation value per inch so the cheapest that is closed cell will do). Typical thicknesses are from 1" to 4" - cut pieces to fit; glue together (waterproof construction adhesive from building supply) into blocks if desired. cheers, John S.

Bonnie,
There is also the pour in foam. It is strong, and closed cell. The problem is that you will never get it out, or have access behind it. I'm putting some in a dingy under the bow and rear seat, but it is very expensive. We have big blocks of foam for sale here as part of dock systems. I think any place with a lake and docks would be able to tell you a local supply for those blocks of foam. You can make a pattern with pieces of cardboard taped together, transfer the profile to the foam.

You need to call around to local plastic supply places to see whom will sell you a large block of polystyrene. You then cut this up to small pieces and put them under vberth. larger blocks under cockpit.
Take out your stinky foam to figure volume needed for new.
Online may also work but shipping is an issue - I bet shipping more than the foam!
Another option is to fill area with pool noodles. With shipping for a polystyrene block this method may be cheaper
