: My father has plans for one , about 12 feet as I remember, plywood
: screwed onto a frame. I grew up in cajun country, old timers
: would pole them through the marsh standing up. My memories of
: those boats were that they were incredibly tippy, and I never
: could figure out how those guys could stand up in one. If I were
: to build one I would eliminate the frame and go stitch and glue.

Tippy is something you get used to and can then use for additional handling. Overall a little tippy boat is better than one that is initially too stable.
