I suppose sitting on the hull wouldn't be too inconvenient, but if you notice, many of these plans have 1/4" ply and lots of framing. I'd love to get something like these that is S&G and fully glassed to make up for the framing. I'm working on a goofy propulsion system that is probably never gonna work, and definitely won't with a boat that heavy.
BTW, sorry about the links.
