I think what you want is a taraibune. That way you use it as a hot tub in the winter and boat in the summer :)

Douglas Brooks even wrote a book on it:

http://www.douglasbrooksboatbuilding.com/research.html

The Tub Boats of Sado Island; A Japanese Craftsman's Methods, Kodo Cultural Foundation, Sado Island, Japan, September, 2003. Text in English and Japanese (translated by Chieko Wales.) Illustrated with drawings and photographs with a monograph by Mr. Toshio Sato.

This book is available directly from me for $25US plus shipping. In Japan it can be found in major bookstores or ordered online at www.kodo.or.jp.

In fact, I've been meaning to buy it. Think I will right now!
