meowpie,
Depends a lot on what 'type' of boat you want, "go fast", scale, sailboat, etc. From there it just depends on what you think would look the 'best' (and your bank account - lol). "Easiest" usually means 'simplest', sort of, at least for a 1st boat. After than, it just depends on how much you like to build, what materials you find easiest to work with, and your imagination. You are also limited by where you can sail your boat. Smaller bodies of water require smaller boats, sort of. The primary idea is to enjoy whatever you decide you want to do. So... what are ~your~ limits? Okay, now enjoy them!
