I have found that most guys on this particular forum tend to go balsa after doing some reading about the core materials. It seems the balsa can be a very good core material when laid up carefully. I am also interested in the foam core, but I found it more affordable to do the balsa. As far as vacuum bagging, you might find more input on screamandfly.. Sorry I didn't provide any good advice for the foam core, I haven't had that much experience building boats (Just what I have accomplished so far on my viper).
