Suggest google:

look for stitch and glue boat plan.

A dory is about as simple as it gets for a seaworthy boat.

Plywood planks stitched together with wire over frames and then covered with fiberglass. Stiching wires removed and more fiberglass.

Fast relatively inexpensive. :)

ie. here:

Keep in mind no boat is cheap; it is merely a hole in the water that you pour money into.

Steven,
Much as I love boats, you are entirely correct, but the complete
formula is: " A boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money and the money disappears."
Gard, you have been warned!

Well, I have no money to pour in a boat, still got 11 000 NKR (970 pounds) to pay on the hardingerfiddle, so I don't have that problem. :-/
Willeke, that link was really good, thanks! ;)
