I have created yet another take-apart small boat called the EXPLORER. It is a One Sheet design, for individual use, to be rowed or paddled, but will accept a trolling motor. This is also a nesting design, that will fit in most any vehicle, and is only 50 inches long for transport. The primary features are: small size, weighs 40 pounds with a 250 pound capacity, $100 to build basic hull, tape & glue construction and no trailer required.
Explorer Assembled
As you can see, this is a small boat with character and will not break the bank to build. Construction is straight forward, and the plans, alhough brief (8 pages) are complete.
