Hi All

Without actually sitting down and working out everything, here is a basic run down for a similar design.

Plywood sheets (4) 2500mm x 1200mm Gaboon $200
Plywood sheets (3) 2400mm x 1200mm Gaboon $150
1 sheet of 50mm Foam 2400mm x 1200mm $ 50
Epoxy Resin (8 litres) $300
Fibreglass tapes, fillers & glue additive $100
Western Red Cedar (gunnels, stringers etc)$ 80
Other bits and pieces, fasteners $100 (guess)

This will allow you build a set of hulls, you should also budget for a timber preserver or everdure type coating, undercoat, top coat.

There would probably (given your location) be the need to build a deck jig (very easy)I made mine from a disused table tennis table (cost $0).

Obviously plans would need to be purchased also. I'm not sure i've seen mosquito plans of late, to know what changes are outlined, but a couple of things on my boat I've done, under advice from other home builders, which I guess can be incorporated on the mossie, are to build the tramp tracks into the hull, and build in the chainplates.

A site worth just having a look at is www dot geocities dot com/phillbrander, and have a look under taipan/tortured ply construction.

Last but not least is time, I couldn't honestly say how much time I've spent building, but the end result will be worth it. If you have time to put into it, the average weekender could probably have built in a couple of months. Mines taken a lot longer than that, but mainly due to work committments. But it is a very rewarding journey.
