Panman's earlier post made me wonder if any of our FAOL friends had built their own fishing boats. Specifically, I'd like to build one for drifting my local rivers, and I'd like to do it on the cheap (really cheaply). Therefore, at this point, I'd like it to be much more simple than a MacKenzie River style boat.

If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it. I've done the whole "Google" search thing, and I'm not finding what I'm after. I want a simple, weekend project (okay, maybe a few weekends) the results of which I can post here for others to copy. The boat will be used more for travel between likely spots, than an actual fishing platform, but I would like it to handle both uses effectively. I'd also like it to be light enough for one person to load and launch.

Thanks for your help.
