Need help deciding what drift boat to build

I'm located in Alabama and am planning to build a drift boat, but unsure which model or where to get the plans.  I have experience building a couple of small wood boats and am ready to tackle this project.  I won't need anything capable of handling any big water.  Class 2 whitewater would be the max, so I'm thinking something with lower sides.  Also, I only need a boat for 2 people.  Many times I fish solo.  I would love to hear some suggestions.

Yes I sell kits. I am super busy right now so I am a bit out on orders.

Oh I have another .02.

Skip the 48" bottom and go at least 52"

Wider bottom for stability?  I won't need it for hauling gear because I will primarily be doing day trips on smaller rivers.
