Hello,
I would like to know if this kind of foam is good for boat building?:

I think that you have to produce some more data about your project and the application you are thinking of in order to get an answer.

What you are asking right now is - What´s the length of a rope?

If you want to use it to pad a seat...yep. If you want to use is in a foam core...definitely not. For flotation...there are lighter foams around and that has a tendency to absorb water.
