Built by JR Holder � I used your kits for the epoxy and other stitch and glue materials.

I purchased Honduran Mohogany for the lumber and British marine plywood. The outside of the boat was painted with green gelcoat and the mahogany was finished with Sea Fin Teak oil. These costs are slightly higher than most because they are delivered to Fairbanks AK. J R Holder. The boat sails great under sail and 5HP motor did not try rowing yet. When using the mast, make sure you properly secure the base of the mast to your bow knee with a stop washer.

This was a nice experience for me and I feel confident in building my next boat! Last year the Saboteer, approximate cost using the best materials, epoxy etc. Building the Saboteer over the jig was the most gratifying.

The boat really handles well, I just got off the river an hour ago and had more than a couple people come up and ask me about the boat including the sheriff who was out on safety patrol.

All said it looked like a wonderful design. Built by John Crill � From you I bought the plans and the hardware kit for the sliding seat. I bought marine ply from a supplier in England I live in France but the marine ply is cheaper and better, no voids, in England and also the epoxy. All the mahogany came from a local staircase manufacturer who sells a tightly paced skip of imperfect wood 10feet by 4 feet by 3 feet for about dollars or about 1. A real bargain. All of the wood is hardwood, some is slightly warped but most of it is only imperfect for making staircases � fine for cutting into narrow strips for boatbuilding and laminating.

I bought the sculls at a car boot sale garage sale for 30 dollars. For much of the build I used polyurethane glue as it is pretty tough and simpler to use than epoxy, but everything is epoxy coated and the boat also has a layer of fine glass roving. I modified the deck design by lengthening it both ends and glassing in a bulkhead to make waterproof caissons.

Best regards, John Crill, France. Working on the Riviera now and keeping track of expenses. SystemThree epoxy and fiberglass sheathing. Engine is a 15 hp Mercury bigfoot with power tilt and electric start. I painted the boat with several coats of Polyurethane floor and porch enamel. Also installed a fishfinder with speedometer and temperature. The actual build time would have been longer for most people as I am a retired carpenter and have a large shop full of good tools.

This also is the 5th boat I have built. Clark Johnson � Laurel, MT. My Dad has passed away and since I am now retired, I decided to attempt to build the same boat, on my own. I struggled from time to time but I finally finished the project. The boat turned out pretty nice and it performs very much like the original. Mike Aronson � Holland, MI.

The boat is all epoxy encapsulated mahogany and Marine Mahogany Ply. BTW I never could have done this without all the info available on your site.

I could have spent less if I had not used mahogany for my stringers, sheers and chines. Or more if I wanted to double plank the deck with mahogany and go for new controls, motor, etc. Built by Larry Madison � In response to your request, I am getting close to the end of my Squirt build. I already had my outboard motor from another boat.

Thanks for all you do to encourage and support us. Built by Rich Stabler � I built the Squirt that you have on your web site. When it comes time to visit the DMV office they will ask you to place a value and on it and you can show you have paid the tax along the way.

A simple break down for ours was as follows. I did manage to keep costs down by using quite a lot of reclaimed timber and offcuts from work, and was able to get my marine ply at near trade prices, even so I was amazed at how cheap it worked out in the end!

Graham Knight � Shepperton, England. I used Philippines mahogany for the framing and plywood, bought a new steering assembly but the motor controls I was able to purchase used. Someone with more experience may save a couple hundred dollars as I did ruin a sheet or two of plywood! Paul McMillan � Ontario, Canada. Built by Don Wood � I built a Squirt using the kit. The total cost including 9.

The motor was purchased from Small outboard. Great planing boat and have had a great time running up and down the Delaware River. Love your products. Would like to build the Zip for my next boat. Don Wood � New Jersey. Bottom and boot top painted and sides ready for stain and varnish. Have steering wheel, steering system, throttle, and other misc. Have some mahogany in stock, but will need a little more to complete interior, seating, and deck. Will need cutwater and other hardware, rubrail, windshield, and upholestry.

Great fun and therapy for what ails you. I hope to create a show piece�.. Gerald Hurst � Jacksonville, NC. I used stainless fittings everywhere I could. See my detailed spreadsheet for the breakdown. Bill Edmundson � Pelham, AL. I think the argument that it is cheaper to build a boat misses the point of the exercise�I certainly could have gotten a very nice used boat of this size or larger for half of what I will spend on this boat.

Mahogany frames, marine plywood and okume decking, I used your nails and screws and West System epoxy. This price does not include engine or steering gear. No motor. But I must add that I did have some of the framing material on hand.

Pete Ahlqvist � Wanless, Manitoba, Canada. We have already started our next project the Tunnel King from Glen-L. David Blanchard � Brockford, Ontario, Canada. I epoxied the interior and exterior and fiberglassed the exterior seams. Built by Bill Hodgdon � It was significantly modified for a round stern and a folding hardtop. The design changes took time to plan, but no cost.

The top rail is wooden, shaped to look like rope took time, no cost. I hand-made the six fenders and bow pudding took lotsa time, little cost. I used quality marine plywood, not home depot exterior ply.

It was fiber glassed inside and out using epoxy resin. It has full navigation lights, bilge pump, hand pump bellows air whistle, and other little details. It was further modified for electric power. It safely runs for over 6 hours on a charge. Great little boat! I have built over a dozen boats now. I hit a few unexpected expenses when I began adding on a few features that were not part of the original design.

A few learning experiences would reduce the build time by at least 20 hours. Most notably, Phoenix heat made the epoxy set too fast, and I had to sand more than I should have. A new Minnkota 55 lb. All paint and polyurethane is marine grade. The project was affordable for me because the costs were spread out over two years.

Thanks and keep up the great work, Erik Roadfeldt � Duluth, Minnesota. Built by Kevin Brown � Took hours over 4 months.

I will send pictures and a write up after launch when I can get on the water pictures. I went over the top in this build using all marine wood and finishes. My time was well in excess of hours but this is a guess because I did not record time and each and every hour was a pleasure. I have a new Suzuki 4 stroke 2. Doug Wade � Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Built by Glen Zwicker � I do get many positive reactions, which are due to the classic beauty of the design as much as to my own handiwork.

I mostly have interior work left to do. This includes twin Perkins diesels with all the instrumentation and most of the electrical components. I bought two Perkins core engines and built them up from bare blocks, and then I modified them by putting a Bowman marine conversion kit on each engine. The engine room is complete.

Electronics will be extra although I already have some of them bought. Tom Schmidt � Frostproof, FL. No experience repairing small motors��.

Thank you for all of your fantastic products, amazing website, and lifelong memories. Marine plywood is hard to find in NZ unless you live in one of the big cities even then it be rather expensive. Price does not include outboard engine but the Zip is fitted with a new 30HP Mercury two-stroke which pushes the boat with a family of four towards 25KN. Built by Keith Hills � I am very particular about costs and time to build my Zip. This was from start to righting the hull, including fibreglass and bottom paint.

This was scrounging for parts, buying used whenever I could, including the motor and trailer. All the materials were sourced locally except for the plans and the bronze boat nails.

At current prices with inflation factored in, it would be about PhP 29, Rolando Perez � Philippines. I remember the total cost including the jig and all screws, etc. This was in ��if i remember. David Brown � Meridian, ID. Took hours to build. Robert Pinske � Canada. Built by Pierre Gadbois � Took hours of work over a six month period. Shane Dickinson � Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
