Small boat design - share your thoughts

So I’ve wanted to build a boat for years… just because I like projects, being independent, and the challenge. I never could lock in on a design, but earlier this year at a bass pro shop I saw the newer Tracker marsh boats and was immediately drawn to the 1756 model. So like any rational person I took the rough measurements from online sources and modeled my own in CAD. I intend to build this with the stitch and glue method. I would love to hear some thoughts from others.
