If memory serves they do use that kind of 2-component PU foam for
composite boats - it makes the boat to float even when filled with water
as it's density is low.. So any company selling Glassfiber,
polyester-resin etc. should have the PU compounds for sale - generally
speaking marine supply stores for DIY types.
