Default Porta-bote? Polypropilyne boat?

Hey there everyone,

I recently saw this plastic folding boat called the porta-bote. Has
anyone here built one before? I'm planning on buying some poly-pro to
build one tomorrow, but definitely need some dimensions. Anyone know
where to start?

I have some CAD experience and am thinking of using some sort of sheet
metal application to make a 3D model, but it's all up in the air because
I don't know how to make the plastic bend naturally on the program. I'm
thinking just improvising but want to imitate the same profile of the
boat seeing as it seems to run really well on the water the way it is now.

Thanks for reading this.
