When put to the question again then I'm not sure whether I wouldn't just buy a F16. 2.250 Euro difference (16%) is not much money considering you'll be spending many hours on homebuilding it; say 150-250 hours in total. You can just as well get a second job as bar tender in the evening or shop assistent in the weekends start and just buy the same package.
You should homebuild because you want to enjoy that experience or alter the design significantly, not because of any perceived financial gains.

Great advice Wouter. I would never build a boat just to save a few bucks. I built a wooden kayak and saved a fair amount over direct purchase. The choice for me to build was mostly the pride I gained from knowing that I built the boat with my own hands. I know the boat inside out and every little detail that I would not know otherwise. I get great enjoyment from peoples reaction when I say I built it myself. They always seem surprised. Then I wonder, are they surprised I could build something that is so nice, or are they surprised that something so nice could come from someone such as myself. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
