No, I have not costed out the build. I was given the motor and gears, the birch ply, the plastic sign material sheets, much of the balsa was from model plane days. Had to buy the Tightbond III and CA glues and paint. Working on the wheelhou …

Oh my...basswood was used on the deck plates. Sub deck is balsa. The Gunwale will require some helping hands from Don. Donnieboy
