Foam Boat?

I've got one stripper under my belt now and am thinking about the next. Question: would it be possible to use styrofoam strips instead of wood. Build the exact same way but using foam strips for lightness and cost savings. If sandwiched between glass, would it be strong enough to hold the riggors of boating. TIA Paul
