If it were me I would join some free pallets together with wire or nailed boards. Use 4 or how ever many you want to create the size. Then take the boards off more pallets to nail them to the top of the rafts to give you a platform. It will float if the wood is dry. That is the simplest and cheapest way I know.
Me, I would build it from a bunch of cut down trees using rope to lash it together. I've built and used one of these in the Canadian Wilderness. I used lodgepole pine, since it can be very straight and use can find free-standing seasoned ones..... also used for Teepee poles.
If you aren’t limited to using wood for your raft, take fun noodles and zip tie them together to create your raft. The jumbo ones are especially sturdy, but if you don’t want to spend as much you could use the thick ones on the outside edges and the thin ones on the inside. If you want something more rigid, you could use the thick noodles under the outside perimeter of a polycarbonate sheet, perhaps with extras going crosswise underneath for added stability.
