Boat building material possibilities

I live in the Sierra foothills near Yosemite in California.  Below I've attached some pictures of my sawmill (WoodMizer LT15 and an Alaskan mill.  The Alaskan mill takes a big kerf but makes cants that can fit on the WoodMizer.

I've been bitten by the boat building bug something fierce and wonder if wood species local to me are suitable for boat building.  I've access to ponderosa pine, cedar, sugar pine, bull pine and many varieties of oak.

Also attached below are some pictures of a music room paneled with wood from the mill.

Any help, links or information would be appreciated.  -Rob Littlefield
