Mine was badly decaying and making a huge mess.  I didn't do a lot of
shopping for new.  I just got the SoundDown kit from Jamestown Marine.  It
worked well enough. Certainly looks way better and doesn't make a mess
anymore.

Just don't think for a second that will make your old diesel pur like a
Prius.

We're refinishing the sole on Alera and decided to also refinish the
steps.  The lower portion of the steps also serves as the aft engine
compartment hatch.  Since the screws fro the back of th steps are under the
soundproofing I am considering replacing the 20+year old soundproofing with
the latest "new and improved" soundproofing.

I ran across this nice blog post on the subject -
http://captnmike.com/2016/03/24/new-sound-insulation-sound-proofing-the-engine-compartment/

My questions for the list are:

1.      Have there been significant improvements in marine s9oundproofing
making the replacement of the old with new worth the expense and bother?

2.      Anyone done this recently?

3.      Smartassed remarks on this or any other unrelated subjects.

thx
