I would not use it in a significant structural role. My hulls are epoxy coated plywood, the cabin structure is what I'm looking at building primarily,
and I need the insulation value as well.
Yeah, sorry about the topic drift...

Anyway, I don't have exact data, as it will depend on thickness, loading and the specific formulation. If the application is not in the hull and is not carrying primary loads, I don't see why you couldn't use any foam you like in that case.
