I'm considering building my first wood boat along the lines of a 19'
barrelback possibly a Monaco or Rivera. I've built an airplane in the
garage before, now a boat.

Does anyone have an estimate of what is the average cost of building,
less the engine. Need to plan my budget. Thanks in advance.

There are some interesting graphs he

A runabout built of beautifully finished mahogany may cost more.
