Default RE: How can an ABS glued hull be split?

This boat hull was from about 10 years back when brushed motors were prime, and the hull is somewhat thin ABS. You can flex the V of the hull with a little bit of hand pressure. I wanted to lay carbon sheet inside, but someone gave me a better idea...

What I'm going to do instead is drill a hole in the top of the hull, use a funnel and pour a 2-part expanding foam mixture into the hull. The expanding foam is very strong when it cures. Then I am going to lay a small strip of carbon on top and re-drill motor mount holes. This will make it brushless worthy and strong without the flex.
