Metal, wood, plastic,rubber or stone?

What do you recommend?

I think I can rule out rubber and stone immediately.

All of the other materials are reasonable choices depending on various
things which you failed to mention.

What kind of tools do you have access to?
What kind of skills do you have?
Do you want a power boat or sailboat?
Do you want the boat to be trailerable?
Where will it sail? calm lakes? bays? Across oceans?
Will it sail where there are icebergs and such?
