If you are serious about this kind of construction, you may want to see if your local library or used book stores have a copy of a book called "foam Sandwich Boatbuilding". I have a copy somewhere in my bookshelves, but I couldn't find it just at the moment (or I'd have given you author and publisher, too). He describes a method using sheets of building foam with fibreglass layers on the outside. The book is oriented to the building of large vessels, such as 42' trimarans, but the comments on technique should be transferable to small boats. If you can't find a copy, I would lend you mine if you want to e-mail me and give me a couple days to find where I put it.
