i suppose it depends where you live, but i only spent 90$ on all the wood in my boat. there arent very many strips required, about 60. but since i dealt with 8 and 10 foot boards i needed 120ish. i didnt actually count them. 20 foot boards would have been very expensive and unnecessary.

i saw a few kit prices for lumber and they were asking as much as 9$ a strip for cedar. i am sure you get a better clear stock and even selection of color.

and dont get me wrong it was a time consumeing process. it was (and is) however very rewarding to say "i built it all from scratch".
