well, its kind of up to how you build it, we sell kits not finished boats. This boat has about $10k in total materials (including the donor jetski). I have roughly 400 to 500 hours of labor into it.

We will sell this one after we play with it for a while.

The boat is featured in Boating magazine, nice article on building your own boat

It might be in Soundings too, but I did not see that. Maybe it was part of an ad for paint?
