I purchased the CNC kit in early 2023. put it together by Christmas with a plywood and Doug for run to Michigan. Long, clear, wide and vertical grain. Everything you can ask for in lumber prices.
Retired this year to pursue personal projects. Started in earnest in April. Plan is to have the hull flipped by the end of April 2025.
personal info: Engineer, woodworker/carpenter with a pretty good shop setup. Not my first boat. 8 ft Acorn and a 16 ft longpoint skiff.
