totals so far

so far the totals for the project go like this:

$228 for tools
$415 for materials, of which $285 is fiberglass and epoxy
$643 total (but i will need more epoxy and some miscellaneous parts, so i figure about $80 more to finish, bringing my projected total to $723)

3 hours making stands and hull cradles
3 hours cutting forms
3 hours making box-beam strong back and setting forms
5 hours ripping strips
15 hours to strip the hull
22 hours to strip the deck
1 hour of pulling staples
13 hours of sanding and planing
1.5 hours making the front and rear stems
5 hours making cockpit and recess
4 hours making and epoxying the foot braces
6.5 hours of fiber glass and epoxy of deck and hull (so far...i still have the insides to do, and joining the deck and hull, and the end pours)

total time: 82 hours (all times are approximate)
i should come in under 100 for the whole project. not bad :D
