Shawn,

Let me know if you do this. My older brother is an avid fly-fisherman, and I am thinking about building one for him. I am already building one for his son (due on the 25th), complete with rockers, and about 3-1/2 feet long. I've been having fun designing and building a cradle/MacKenzie drift boat from scratch.
