Good job on your duck boat and don't leave it in the grass or you will never find it. 
The one in the right side of the picture looks pretty good, from what I could see of it.

yea, looks good. How much did it end up weighing? what did you do inside the front, back and sides? Is it just air in there? The molded oar locks look very professional. People probably do not believe you made it yourself.
The Boat weighs in at 28 Lbs. The constuction material is 1/4" luan plywood, encapsulated in epoxy. All the seams were fileted with epoxy/wood flour and fiber glass taped on both sides. The oar locks are 2 x pine. I made some plastic inserts that snap into the oarlock holes to act like a bushing. Both of the bulkheads are air chambers. My original plan was to make those areas storage. But that could be done at a later date. It was a fun project to make. I had never tried stitch and glue construction b-4.
Drywall will be one of my up coming projects. It was more fun to make the boat, then hang drywall. Guess I got my prioritys mixed up.

Wow, that is a little boat but light as a feather. ducks will be in trouble.
I know about those priorities. I can figure out how to design my own duck boat but for the life of me I can't figure out how to fix the basement stairway. go figure.
