I have been using 2# foam for floatation but I have never used the 8# or the 16# foam on a job yet. The manufacturer says the 8# is like soft wood and 16# is like a rock.
I agree about the clamps possibly squeezing the foam and have considered using wood in that area but where the foam and the wood come together would be a weak point.
My other option was using 2 layers of 1/2" marine plywood (6 pieces per layer) with the joints overlapping and all saturated with resin and glassed together.
