Strip-built boats can get expensive in that you have to build a
strong-back first.

There's and ad at ott.rec.canoe-kayak for strong back and molds for a 16 ft
prospector stripper used twice for $300 Canadian.

Strippers are pretty expensive to build. You save about 1.3 off retail by
building it yourself. I guess the savings in labour pays for the strong
back and mold and then some. People tend to build these boats over other
kinds for appearances.
