I'm not sure how to set a price on a model. I'm entertaining offers, though. If find a market for them in your area, let me know. Feel free to email me if you want to discuss this some more.

Time spent? I wish I had kept track. I'd guess that it will take 50-60hrs total, but thats just a guess. I won't be installing bulkheads or hatches, so that will cut the time.

: Thanks for the update Ross,
: That is definately a First Rate model. Looks great! I am very curious to know
: what you think the value is on one of these models, if you were to offer
: it for sale. Could you make money selling them(?) is probably a more
: appropriate question. Email me if that's more convenient. If you really
: haven't given it any thought, or you just feel like telling me that it's
: none of my damn business, that's fine too.

: The market for these types of handcrafted, custom works of art would sell
: like crazy, here in Bellingham, WA. You just don't see any of them in any
: of the fancy art shops. I honestly think that if anyone is going to make
: some money selling kayaks, they'll sell more display models, by far. I
: also think that for a display in someone's house, bigger looks better, and
: more impressive. And more expensive. I consider 5 feet(plus) about the
: optimum length or 1/3 scale. The Cirrus hybrid I'm building is 6 feet
: long, and I am selling that one (already have a buyer) but have no idea
: for how much.

: How much time do you think you will have into this model once its completed?

: Thanks for any/all info you're willing to share. I truely appreciate it.
