Corbo,
I did not know you had mad boat building skills.
Nice link and I love boat kits. Kits are about the only way for small boat builders to sell their boats without all the legal clutter. I may have to follow that path to get my boats on the water.
As for the cost; I think I can build fiberglass/RTM boats for that price range. The only issue with fiberglass right now is the volatility of the price of resin (pun intended)-petroleum based.
However; I do love handmade boats! There is nothing like building something and enjoying its use.
