In Response To: Strip: About how many hours/months/years? (Danp)

Built about 16 yaks and have been working on boats and wood for many years....I kept track of every hour and did an Outer Island in 130 hours and an RBA in about the same time. no fancy inlays but a few accent strips.Milling my own strips also.....

They are straight, true and the fit and finish is as good as the better ones out there.
I have done many s-n-g yaks from plans and can do a glassed hull w/ deck in about 40 hours, add another 20- 40 for finish and outfitting to complete.

You need a shop that you can just turn off the lights and leave with heat that is easy.

Happy building.....It is worth what ever time i takes.....
