Nothing simpler than a springer...

And I have seen springer hulls built out of wood, plastic, fiberglass, and aluminium.
It's such a simple box hull, practically any and all media will work.
The square lines are perfect for rescues.

Plans are widely posted, around the world, on the internet.

This is the kind that the guy at our lake has. Works great stock but he increased battery capacity. Looking for one used myself.

Go springer. I know you said you dont like wood, but they only have 1 curve on them and that's the bottom, and even that is hard to mess up. I'm working on one now to be a standby boat for my gasser airboat. They can also be made for cheap too.
