15 months!! ARGH!! I don't know if I can wait that long. Now I am really depressed. I'd like to be able to launch it in December. Since I have a full time job, wife and kids, cry, weep, cry. I guess I will just have to let the family fend for themselves until I'm finished :)

$750 in boat costs isn't too bad. Since I already have the table saw, router, planes, clamps, and such from the S&G kayak I built, my tool costs should be minimal.

Thank you for the info.
