: 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.

If you are dead set on a strip boat you will need a dedicated space for quite some time as you won't be moving the hull once you start the project.

It may be an idea to look into a hybrid (ply hull, strip deck)If you are going to be moved around during the project.
