So, it's been over ten years since we could have a nice discussion about
"crappy little boats"... so...

If you could build one small boat in your back yard, what would it be?
What material, and where would you use it, why, etc.....???

I would build one just like the one that rotted out on you except out of
a more durable material. Would oakum be appropriate? I would use it
wherever it is safe to do so. Why? Because boating is fun.

Yeah, the Okoume would be the way to go... And if you could afford it,
clear Mahogany would be great for framing and finish. That boat, tended
could last for decades... Haven't checked prices lately, but I bet you
could build it for under a grand...

I'd like to build a scale model (12 feet) of the PT 109. Keel would
be Douglas Fir (cause a friend has some Kants just laying around) and
Marine Plywood. Engine would be a weed wacker engine. I've seen these
done already. The Operator sits down inside the Boat invisible to the
Public, looking out through stratigically placed "peep holes".
Other models done have been Battleships, and Nuclear Submarines. There
ARE picture available.

I'm fairly handy but not up to a task like that but I would like a
"car-topper" for two for fishing the small lakes without trailer access.

With it's high center of gravity, a canoe is a poor choice for a fishing boat for two. Here's something far better:

Don't know why my reader is trying to send to the posters, but here is
my version of a cartopper...
