Summary: PODCAST SHOW NOTES - Episode #006 Listener Questions and Other Dennis Molvik called the listener hotline with a question: "How long does it take to build a wooden boat from a kit?"  The short answer is 80-120 hours for a small boat kit from a company such as CLC Boats or Pygmy Boats.  Kits are a great way to get started in wooden boats and if you want to, you can customize as you go along.  Thanks for the question Dennis!
