Default Single person boat built out of two liter bottles

think sausage. stuff the bottles into sausage skins to form the planks.
tie the sausages together at the ends like a reed boat. or lash the
sausages together along their length and to some sort of ribs (eg steam
bent). if you can't find sausage skins make your own out of tough sheet
plastic and double sided carpet tape.

on second thought, if you're going to use the tape and plastic think
roll-your-own cigarettes. set up a couple of 12 ft boards together in a
"V" cross section, drape the plastic over it, set the bottles end-to-end
in the "V", cut and tape the plastic around the bottles. picky details
left to individual creativity.
