    One sheet plywood boat!

    no thanks mayne. i'de rather build it, it just makes it that much better. and i'm not gonna drown? obviously i'm not gonna take this in water that has a current. strictly lake/ponds only. for calm days. it's just gonna be a fun weekend project i think. and if it's a bust? no big deal.
