Location: Green Bay, WI | Wow...looks very nice. Great job so far!
On the issue of the foam--be very careful not to put so much in that it expands beyond the framing, requiring it to be cut. According to the information I've read, that basically makes it an "open-celled" foam, and it retains water. And being as how you have a bunch of wood in the boat now, retained water would be bad.
Here's a question though (I apologize if it's been said and I simply missed it): why construction-grade lumber, and not treated?
I would only worry about rot after a few years, especially with a bunch of flotation foam with edges that have been trimmed. If you head over to the THT forum:
http://www.thehulltruth.com
...and search for "flotation foam," you'll find lots of information on the subject. Good for a few hours of reading, to say the least.
Strong work on the project thus far though--I especially like the looks of the trailer!
