... for what will be my "winter" (I think they only use that term down here to avoid confusion) boatbuilding project.

Some of the ones I'm already considering are:

Gartside's Flashboat, or his clinker pram

Oughtred's MacGregor (Maybe I'd try traditional clinker?).

I'd rather not do S & G or strip/glass/epoxy if I can help it- less epoxy is better.

Any other "neat" boats out there?

Matt,

What do you want to do with it. Do you do any flat's fishing. Bateau.com has a new design clle an extreme flats boat that only draws 2" at design weight. I have been looking at it for river use.

Why don't you try a birchbark canoe? That would be pretty neat and kinda fun.
