Puddle Duck is a Class boat and makes a great pond boat.
Here is a 4 by 8 foot plywood, cheap, quick, stable, safe and easy to build versatile and virtually unsinkable boat anyone can build and a good pond boat. Some guys have build this in a day or two using only nails and glue. I spent more time with screws and fiberlgassed/epoxied the seams since I was going to attend a 200 mile sail in the Gulf of Mex. For safety the boats have either three water tight champers two in front and one in back or visa versa. The other type as mine has a chamber on each side the length of the boat and the beauty of this is doing a capsize the boat won't take on any water because the sides are held higher while on it's side then the water level. Also with water tight hatches you can hold a load of equipment in completely dry conditions. Painting is a snap with exterior latex house paint and roller. The tent could be setup with the rigging in place for sleeping on the water.
