Default Making an Inflatable Boat

How about sailcloth tubes full of innertubes? A wooden skeg under
the floor with sailcloth fairing bottom and sole, thwartships
dryer vent style zig zag floor tubes woven together with light
nylon cord hammock style, all inflated by one common air tube,
and vacuum packed away using the same pump? How to seal ends of
dryer tube sections? Sew thru wet 5200 inside end flap plugs, or
twist vent tube tight, or use clamp on hard plastic end pieces?
Separate compartment valves? Plywood transom slotted for skeg
iron and stretching mooring float prow and tubes? Stows under
foredeck for fun. Or, glass over bottom for RIB. It won't fold
flat, but will suck itself together quit a bit for stowage.

Sailcloth pop bottle tubes for catamaran hull form twin bilge
keel skegs to trap ram air for ground effect parawing hovercraft
type skirt for fast towing? 'A' frame mast, forestay, backstay
and long sail? Hoisting eyes?

Water ballast tube or two? (Ducks!) Automatic bailers?

Electric trolling motor and wind turbine?

Trapeze? Trapeezes?

Does anyone know of any books or resources for making inflatable boats?
More specifically, I'm interested in creating something using that
technology that's not a boat (or furniture for that matter). Manufacturers
or products used in the construction also would help me get started.

Thanks.
