For
epoxy and fiberglass, starting price will be about $240 plus shipping in the
United States depending on the brand and vendor you choose. This doesn't include
items such as varnish, brushes, rollers, mixing sticks, gloves, etc. See our list
of trusted suppliers.
For
marine grade plywood, price will be about $200 if you pick it up yourself.
Delivery cost of full sheets of plywood is expensive. Please compare our pre-cut
plywood kit price if you are considering having plywood delivered.
Our precut kit price may be cheaper than what you'll pay for the full sheets and
delivery.
A builder who chooses to draw and cut out all the panels manually can save around
$400 over the cost of CNC cut kit. However, drawing and cutting the multiple panels
on this design will be time consuming and there will be a risk of error.
When
comparing the cost of this decked canoe kit to boat kits from other companies,
please keep in mind this canoe is much bigger than a solo touring kayak.
If you would like to make a reasonable comparison, compare this decked canoe to
tandem kayak and be sure to factor in shipping costs.
Please
Note: This is a multi-paneled hull and will require significantly more effort
to assemble than some of our other designs. If you're a first-time builder, we
highly recommend you consider completing a simpler project first.
What you learn on the first project will allow you to build a better, lighter
second project.
The
hull will required about 70-85 hours to complete. You can save about 10-15 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.
