I'm in the midst of building a Redfish Silver (1st boat) and have been making steady easy progress. The hull is done, the deck is 60% complete, the form for the combing is built and I am into this about 100 hours (started buidling the strongback in mid Dec). The deck design I am doing (redwood and pine swoops) slowed things down a bit. I imagine I'll be done in another 80 hours. 9 months? Go for it!
