I'd agree with that and might also look at a bit shorter and wider boat, while a long skinny boat is a tiny bit easier to build a shorter wider boat will be much more at home in moving water where you need maneuverability. We spend much time around here on smaller moving water, I can do it with a longer boat, but a shorter one is more fun.
