I think your time estimate is low unless you can give 5 weeks time uninterrupted. I cant tell you how many hours I have spent working on my boat, let alone the planning and research. But I agree, it is a very satisfying experience. I had an idea about what a boat should be and set out to make mine that boat. You'll start out with a great boat, and make it into what you want. Go for it !!! This is a great place to get advice. These guys have a lot of experience doing everything on a boat - good and bad. Welcome aboard and dont get your nortons in a bunch!!!
