I used 4lb closed cell in mine. The stringers can be construed as structural since they are hollow and trapzoidal, so why not go with the 4 lb. Most people use 2lb for floatation.
Here is a link to a supplier and they explain things well. http://www.uscomposites.com/foam.html

Awesome! Thanks! Do you know of any threads that discuss painting the boat bottom? I don't think I need anti-fouling paint... My boat will be a barn/trailer queen.
