Gentry Custom Boats does a skin on frame version of J Henry Rushton's classic "Wee Lassie". 10'6" LOA and weighing in at only 19lbs.  They sell the kits for $400, but also sell just the plans for $55.  I am thinking about the plans at first and then ordering the kit if things look too complicated to piece-work. 

They recommend skinning with a polyester fabric, but also have an option with clear vinyl skin so you have an invisible boat!  (It's really cute, google images for it!  All you see is a framework floating in the water.)

Marc St Louis:
There was a local company that built canoes at the time, they're out of business now.  A couple years after I had made mine they had a display in a shopping mall near me and in their display was one that was a twin of mine

Those look great fellas! Always wanted to build a cedar strip canoe. It's on my bucket list.

Don, I had no idea you could make something like that. You are a talented guy my friend. Amazing attention to detail!
