I went over today to Cross Creek Florida and looked at a 16ft New flat bottomed boat Made out of fir plywood(not Marine) and cypress Looked well made and solid. He wanted $1500 for boat and it seemed fair. My question is what would be a fair estimate for cost of materials and what would be a reasonable est. on hours to build(he said 50 hours) I live on a small lake here in N Florida and just want something to attach a trolling motor to and drown a shinner every once in a while, I have the shop and tools to make a boat but sure don't want to get into something thay will take forever to build and end up costing more than what this guy is asking,,,I know this is a little vague but any insight would sure help me hopefully make a good decision Bill W.
