Epoxy: fiber-glass on stryofoam form

I have a question. Is it possible to form a kayak shape out of styrofoam, cover the form with epoxy and fiber-glass, then remove the styrofoam, to form the shell of a kayak? If so how many layers of fiber-glass and epoxy would be needed? What else who need to be done to give the kayak shell enough ridgidty?
Thanks Wally
