Strip: First kayak

Hey, I'm a senior in high school, and for my senior project, I'm building a kayak. I had a few questions. First of all, how many total hours does a kayak usually take to finish? Second, how hard is it to start from scratch. A friend suggested a kit, bit that's a tad out of my price range, so I decided I would build it from scratch. And third, is there any good supplier (wood, materials, etc.) in connecticut, or around northwest Connecticut?
Thank you

And like I said, I'm new to this, so any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
