Old fashioned? Plywood?

Try a lapstrake. The Adirondack Guide boats are beautiful. they have a
modified strake that looks like it's carvel planked when done. I know Mystic
Seaport has some plans in their collection.

Anyone have a suggestion for a plywood kayak able to carry about 250
lbs and around 12 ft long? I'd rather it not be 'stitch and glue' or
strip plank (I know, I'm old fashioned). Incidentally, I came across a
kayak plan in an old book called "The Boy Mechanic" published from
1920 thru 1950's; all you need to know to build this boat on 2 pages!
Has anybody ever seen or built one of these?

Thanks
