Larry, I hunt the same waters you do in a Scaup I built a couple of years ago with 3/8 BS1088 Ocume. I believe the unsupported SQFT of plywood in this stitch and glue is larger than that of the boat your building. If I were to build a smaller "one man" boat I would go with the lighter wood (maybe 1/4") because of my size (6'3" -260lbs) and experience with the durability of the boat I built. I would love to see your build, I've thought of building a smaller boat for myself. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help or ideas along the way, I live in Union, Ky. John
