Review
our kits to compare how costs meet your desires. The Laker Kayak is easy
enough for a beginner builder to draw and cut them selves. A builder who chooses
to draw and cut out all the panels by hand can save around $240 over the cost
of CNC
kit.
However,
if you want the best materials and they are not available in your local area,
then the precut kit might be worth considering.
The
hull will required about 40-55 hours to complete. You can save about 4-8 hours
with a precut kit. These times are rough estimates and will vary according to
the skill of the builder. Please note these are "hands on" hours and do not include
the time waiting for epoxy to cure.
