A stock boat from the factory has no insulation at all, but most owners have added some to try to reduce engine noise. However it sounds like yours was not installed properly. The kit I purchased from West Marine included some studs that were epoxied inside the covers that are designed to hold the insulation in place even if the adhesive fails.
