Quite a few people with no previous experience build nice boats.
I'd suggest choosing your preferred material and getting some experience
working with it. You can get a lot of experience with materials and
tools doing small non-marine projects around the home. Building a small
boat will introduce you to working with molds, upside down, etc. As you go
you can imagine how you would do it on a much larger boat.
