Even here in SoCal, wood boats sell for dirt cheap. I've got an Arctic 
Tern kit in my garage that I bought for $150, but I think why build it 
when I can probably find one all built for $6-8 hundred. Had I more 
discretionary income, I'd be taking in more boats from craigslist to 
play with and send on to better homes. So many different boats out there 
and how are you ever going to try them all! Currently I have 7 boats in 
my garage--only non-kayakers are  impressed!
