Someone want to build this?
The design could really be improved upon, no?
Post back if you don't drown to death.

How do you bend plywood like that though?

Think, it's not illegal yet.

Re: Someone want to build this?
^Actually if it's thin (1/4" to 3/8") enough it will just bend naturally.
That being said it looks more like a giant clog than a boat...

That thing won't last a year in water, cool idea though.

dont soak it.
you can use a steam box, or you can run a few shallow vertical cuts down it.
thin plywood will bend anyway though.

Why not? As long as you take care of it and dont run into any bigger boats (read: Two guys in a canoe), you should be fine.

Well, wood rots, that looks to be made out of spruce or fir, treated ply might last a little longer, but unless its heavily coated in paint, (and i mean thick thick shit) itll rot out eventually. I guess u could wrap it in like a duradek type material and seal it.

It's a $50 boat, who gives a shit. Build a new one next year.

Re: Someone want to build this?
My neighbor had a wooden rowboat which he used almost daily. It still had all of the original wood 30 years later. All you need is a good coat of laquer, and that'll seal it in fine.
