General Discussion about the Great Alaskan / Re: Cost?

I thought 50k was what I had read before. Didn't know what inflation had done to the prices.

I know it is a very good value compared to buying a similar production boat.

Building is getting to be more of a reality for me and I get nervous thinking about it lol.

General Discussion about the Great Alaskan / Cost?

I was wondering if anyone could give a rough estimate for what it would cost for all lumber, resin, fiberglass. I understand there are a lot of variables but would like some sort of an idea.

Would there be anything wrong with buying a drum of resin? I can get a drum delivered to West Marine for free.

Thanks Darrell

Boat Building Tools / Re: 1/3 and or 1/2 sheet sander

That is some good info there.

I was wondering if it would be good for fairing large area with the big flat surface and I have always wanted one. When I buy a tool I like to buy a quality one, one time.

Would a sander of this type be useful?

I wont be bringing a boat, but I was thinking of a charter for fishing. I will be flying in just for the Wooden Boat festival and mainly to see GA.
