Jerry,
I think you do not have a firm grasp of what you are asking. To be stitch and glue a boat is small and assembled of sheets of plywood. To be self bailing requires that the vessel be very effectively closed off below the DLWL (Design Load Water Line). To make a SAG boat "unsinkable" you would have to used poured in place foam which will invite the plywood to rot with any fresh water (like rain). You can do sealed tank bottom, but it is not "unsinkable" if the plywood is breached. Are you looking for SAG because you think is will be inexpensive and simple to assemble? I have got news for you guy...... Your best bet for what you seek is to go find an old abused (but not waterlogged) Boston Whaler or the like. It will be cheaper, better and faster in the long run.

Something self bailing would be ideal. Thanks, Jerry |
