How many hours?

How many hours did it take to build your first strip kayak? I have built a S&G, but really would like to try my hand at a strip-built. Right now I am torn between the Guillemot and the Panache. I've read a number around 300 hours, but that was on the website where the plans were. Also, all said and done, would the materials run around $500?

Thank you in advance.
