: From 200-300 hours depending on how artistic you get, and whether you use
: staples (I didn't, so a lot of the time I was waiting until the next day
: for the glue on one strip to dry to continue). Three months is a quick
: build.

Check Rob Macks's stapleless methods. You can get the hull stripped in two or three weeks, working two days a week. The deck is faster still. Taking your time, two months would do it.
