I recorded time worked and the job done also all the
expenses (but without looking at invoices I don’t know
quantities of materials)
TiMe:
I took 1240 hours over two and a half years (six to nine
months were taken out because of Jane and Ben’s
passing so it ought to be less than two years!)
The break down is:
270 hours to roll over (for the hull) 22%
460 hours for the cabin 37%
130 hours on motors and electrics 10%
COsTs:
The total cost was $13,100, more than I had ever
envisioned but as it was mostly monthly bills at Ravenshoe Hardware it wasn’t too noticeable over two years!
MAjOR iTeMs WeRe:
Timber and plywood $2160 16.5%
Glues and paints $3271 (half of that was epoxy) 25%
Acrylic for windows $400 3%
The Electric System $4400 34%
I saved a considerable amount on the timber by using recycled boards
