Skin-on-Frame: Pine Wood for SOF Kayak?

I saw some Pine wood, it is light, least or small knots, white/light pale yellow in color. Seems to be very light, widely available, takes varnish.

Will it be good for my Gunwale and Chine Stringers on my SOF? as compared to Jackwood and Red Cedar [Indian, Expensive]??
