Actually, I've heard "400 hours" frequently as an answer to "how long will 
it take to build a cedar strip kayak".

Given that you're not going to build a cedar strip boat in a weekend or two 
I don't think one can put a figure on how many hours it should take.  It's 
a long process and IMHO trying to speed build a kayak would likely cause a 
builder to burn out on the building process.
