Looks like it would flat scoot across some water ! It looks like it has a bit of a keel on it, for the lakes.

Thanks, Jerald. I'm proud of it, do doubt.
It took me about 4 free weekends to build it and I've got about $200 in it including the marine-grade okoume plywood, epoxy, and fiberglass. It weighs approx. 60 lbs. and is stable enough to stand up in and cast a rod for fish. It's flat-bottomed except for a little bit of chine at the waterline and I added a 1/2" keel to it because without it it'll swap ends with ya in a strong wind.
