For 3pax sampan ~ $1050 (good wood)
COE ~ $350. (last for 50 years)
insurance + river tax around ~ $200

guess not cheap..

MM says no amount of engineering can prevent floods. So must look for new mode of transport for practical reasons.

You need a rubber dinghy, storage wise is easier than a sampan.

Good idea.

Can escape to Johor if necessary.

Actually, the kayak is the most efficient mode of transport in terms of energy expended versus distance traveled. The canoe is also very good.
