Cost
to build range from about $250 for a basic hull to $600 for an ultra
tough, precision CNC machined, version.
Review
our kits to compare how costs meet your desires. The Laker
Kayak is easy enough for a beginner builder to draw and cut them
selves. A builder who chooses to draw and cut out all the panels
by hand can save around $240 over the cost of CNC
kit.
However,
if you want the best materials and they are not available in your local area,
then the precut kit might be worth considering.
The
hull will required about 45-60 hours to complete. You can save
about 4-8 hours with a precut kit. These times are rough estimates
and will vary according to the skill of the builder. Please note
these are "hands on" hours and do not include the time waiting
for epoxy to cure.
