I'm saving up my boat bucks for a http://porta-bote.com/.
For me, not having the maintenance the ply boats would require, fewer
parts to lose, stability, longevity, and ease of setup will make up for
any aesthetic losses.

Potabote seems to have quite a good reputation but I'm hoping to save by
building my own - ply seems like the easiest route.
Have taken the plunge and bought the plans for Flapdoodle - quite
comprehensive plans/instructions, although it looks surprisingly
complicated. Now all I need is the time to make it - don't hold your breath!
