Looks like a quick and easy backwater swamp boat, but I sure wouldn't put in the seat they have pictured. No rocker. Would be fairly unresponsive in any kind of current or cross wind.

You can also try these pople who have plans for plywood and also canvas boats.:

Stitch and glue plywood canoes tend to be a bit "angular" because of the building process.

Came across this place a couple of weeks ago.

Some of the designs are a bit basic but the Bear Boat Kayak software is interesting and two of the plans(Daytrip Canoe and Touring Canoe - about half way down the page) are to-scale dxf files ready to be plotted from autocad or the likes and look like not bad wee boats.

The Jack Loganbill's Wood and Canvas link is quite informative too.
