[QUOTE="onthewater102, post: 468525, member: 13702"] FRP panels is what you're talking about - they work great supported by foam. To build elevated decking sections you would need a three ply setup - with the area framed out you would top the framing with a layer of FRP, then add a layer of foam and a second layer of FRP. You should be able to find an adhesive which will bond to the foam without dissolving it, and most adhesives hold to fiberglass well enough to secure everything. I would still prime/paint the FRP as I don't know whether it's UV stable or not (tend to doubt it as it's designed for use in interior spaces), but it would be white to start with and could be kept white.
