Just one more idea for using plywood, have you considered a glued lapstrake design? I don't think you said what kind of boat you wished to build but it makes an light, stong and elegant rowboat or sailing dinghy (lots of designs available) and has been done occasionally in a kayak too. If you go for the stripper we will understand; we all have a soft spot for those!
