Tomek,
Here's the deal. The hull is the least expensive part of your project. The woodwork is the next least expensive cost. The greatest cost of maintaining the boat is replacing all the junk parts builders use to sell their hulls. For a boat of that size 11 years is not plenty of time. You might complete that if everything goes to plan and you are prepared to sacrifice all your free time and vacations. Very few people are or can afford to do so for family obligations and the like. Just to give you an idea, the engineering inside the hull alone will be in excess of 4000 manhours. If you have all the skills, tools and equipment on hand in time. That equates to 4 years for you if you do nothing else and you have the personal discipline of the pope. I'm not trying to discourage you, just inform you of the immense task a boat that size is. I know, I did it. Ask Glen or some of the other guys that are doing it on this group.
