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!
