cubfloater, i would say that it took me about 12-18" of snow to get "it framed up". LOL.

It goes together FAST. im trying to do the math here, but i would say 10hrs and this thing look like an airplane. i have been screwing with it for the last couple of nights as i am waiting for the covering to show up. I think i build fast and i probly only have 30 hrs into it total. A lot of its just messing with the small stuff. To me shaping takes the longest and there is a little but now as much as the hog. It wil be a lot faster, but im not sure you could build them 10 to 1.

FYI-my next one, im gonna sheet the turtle deck, i think it will look better.
