If you want a simple boat building project, check out the plans for this 10 ft wood and canvas kayak. It is great for hike in ponds. With the strap on trailer (made from an old folding lawn chair and wheels - my design) I tote mine 2/3 - 3/4 miles up a mountain trail. The dual rod holder / net holder (my own design) holds two ten foot crappie rods. When trolling I cover 21 ft of water. It is held on by velcro and 2 2" C clamps. The rope attached to the bow and stern holds my anchor rope. I can quickly shift the anchor to the front, the back, or somewhere in between. For better tracking, I added a fin in the rear. It doesn't like wakes, and some of the boaters up here are idiots, so I made a cover for it that is also held on by velcro. But my preference is to take it where power boats cannot go. It is plenty stable. As for durability - this is my kayak after 12 years of heavy use. The design allows for the kayak to be folded lengthwise and hung on a wall with the seat and spreaders inside. http://www.ida.net/users/tetonsl/kayak/
