![]() Not sure by exactly what you mean by 'what it takes.' Short answer: Set of plans, some powertools, a place to build, and about $10,000 in materials for the hull. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14mg75HMLr531RcOl4M-uOdqMvmbHdXy0CsGGc75rIiM/edit?usp=sharing I didn't have any experience in plywood epoxy years ago, so built that little dinghy to gain some. I also got a lot of support online from those that have built their own boats; I don't think I would have been able to do this without the internet. Most important factor is being a bit stubborn. Several times I could have given up, but I just keep plugging away at it. Bite away a little each day. I can see the end of it now, but in no hurry to get it done. You certainly don't need to be a craftsman. If you look at MarkE's SS18 thread, the quality of his work is well ahead of mine, but one of the great things about the material is that any mistake can be fixed. I'm getting better at it as I move along as well. |
