As you build your TTT what expence do you go to?

I've built a number of larger projects and the reason I built a 2nd boat is that I cut corners on the first one and wanted it different....I would say that unless you are planning a 2nd tear from the get go....build it the way you really want it....you're going to be a lot happier with it than having to live with yourself and a project knowing what you could have done and didn't...When it is all said and done, the dollars now and the effort are a lot less expensive than doing it all over again....Just my experience...PS...I've got a 15' Mohogany boat that I'll sell...Doug

I keep wondring where that $3K figure comes from. I have built three from $300 to $1200. Are people figuring in camping gear and tools too?

That's interesting. How do you build one for $300 when a chassis costs nearly that much if you buy one new. My 5x9 chassis will cost close to $500 to build, counting the steel, 13" tires/wheels, axle, coupler, jack, etc. And that's with free welding. My plywood alone will cost around $300.
