Here’s another idea for you. Umpteen years ago when I was in scouts, we made folding plywood kayaks. My old troop still makes them to this day. Evidently we weren’t the only troop. They can be made anywhere from 8 to 12 feet long. The big advantage to these boats was that they fold flat for transport. For a scout troop this is a really big advantage since a dozen or more boats may need to be transported.

I found three links for you to check out. There’s another website in Utah but I wasn’t able to find it.
