Default Foam kayak

Has anyone here ever built an kayak or canoe from polystyrene coated with
cloth and Epoxy? I'm in the process now and find that even one layer of
cloth and epoxy
are quite strong. Where the cockpit area is I have used 1/8" plywood as
the surrounding material as it will have the stress of body support. I plan
to use 3 laminations and then polyurethane as the finish . This is just a
simple explanation of the actual process I have used . I shall post
further if it is water worthy !!
