build their SOF boats for under $200 in materials (some have claimed
material costs of well under that!).

Using entirely scrounged wood for the frame (free), including discarded
cedar trim for gunwales and deckbeams and white oak pallet stickers for
ribs, I built my recent 18" x 17.5' for about $70.  $8 for lashing
twine, $42 for canvas, and $20 for elastomeric acrylic roof coating.
