Material: wood glue Titebond III instead of epoxy?

Hi all,

I am going to build SOF Sea Pup for my 9 yo son.
I'd like to minimize the cost. It is going to be his first kayak and I don't expect he will use it a lot and he will also
outgrow it in a few years.
So what do you think about my idea of using Titebond III glue? It's waterproof.
I'd have to spend about $70 for West epoxy, unless you can recommend something else..?

I also hope to use some cheap plywood...

As for the skin, I haven't really looked at it. Any recoomendations for the el cheapo way..?

I plan to carve Greenland paddle for him.

thanks a lot.
