I hope to build with composîte wood or another type, not sure, but will have ribs on the inside of the boat.I think these are called chines. Anyway I want this boat to be lightweight enough to take off the back of a truck without too much trouble and then put into the water.I would like to use a small motor on this boat as well. My main use though is to use this boat for fishing.

You can get plans for small boats from "Messing About in Boats" or "Wooden Boat" (magazines)
We have a friend who sold plans for a boat made from luan.
Chine is the turn of the bilge, it is either hard or soft depending on whether it is an angle or a curve
The ribs on the inside are called ribs.
Composite is not a good material because of permeability. The new plastic woods might work.(recycled wood chips and recycled plastic)

Try a magazine called Messing about in Boats. We had a friend who sold plans from there who made boats with luan. Also Wooden Boat magazine

marine plywood only-
regular plywood absorbs water.
I can tell you from experience- Go out and buy one>
And not wood!
Alum or fiberglass/resin.

Composit wood is very heavy.

Forget plans! All you need is duct tape!

I tried that before and all my occupants had to swim back to shore.
