I'm looking to make a 12 foot drifter boat out of HDPE I'm well aware of how big a project it may be, any advice?

Start with the math for how much HDPE that actually is. Are you buying all that or collecting it from bottles and caps? Do you have a good method to break up this obscene amount of material to prep for sheeting? Do you have ventilation for your oven? Do you have a spare oven you don't use for food?
Have you don't any work at all with HDPE in the past?

Build a few from plans before you start winging it a lot. It will teach you some valuable lessons.

This guy has a few very affordable to build boats listed, and some are not made of wood.

Not OP but I am eternally grateful. You have opened pandoras box my friend, and this shit is amazing. I wish he had some two person models for couples exploration however.
