Monaco has a MerCruiser 350 MAG MPI (315 HP) engine and almost reaches 50 mph... took about 10 months full time (I'm slow) and the raw materials cost about 19K$.
June 2000. ...I have done everything myself, boat, paint, trailer, etc. ...It took 9 months until a finished product! Parker McQuown
Posted by anonymous on May 24, 1998 at 09:49:46:I built the TNT about a year or two ago. It was fairly easy. Its a great boat. Have a 15 hp and it flys along the water at 30. Could take a 30hp and really fly very stable, takes waves well. cost about $800.00 ..
Great boat!
TNT October 29, 1998: I just wanted to take a quick moment to express my pleasure in the plans and framing kit I recently purchased for the TNT. I found the instructions and plans to be complete and easy to follow... I worked on it in the evenings and some weekends and completed it in under two months, which was much faster than I had figured it would take. ... Tony Allen
TNT 5-1-01: ...The boat has a 20 hp. Mercury engine which pushes it along pretty well, and a rotary steering system which was quite simple to install. Although it took over 325 hours to build, the results are worth it. Kyle Crawford
WEE HUNK3-11-02: I purchased your Wee Hunk plans and completed the boat this past weekend. I have about 60 hrs into the project. It was my first boat building project, although I have built a couple of houses, custom cabinets and furniture. I enjoyed every minute of the project. Paul G. Sadeck
XP-8Darryl Mabee / 10-31-01: Built complete XP-8 in two weeks during summer vacation in 1990. Boat still in use. 25mph estimated with 9.9 hp outboard.
YUKONYukon - 2-1-01: The launching took place five years and a few days after I started the project. I probably averaged about two working days per week over that period, which makes roughly 4,160 hours of work that went into the project, and I still have some inside finish work to do.
The project cost about $40,000 Canadian (about $27,000 U.S. at current exchange rates). The finishing-up period is a real money hemorrhage, since there are many bits and pieces of hardware involved that tend to be expensive. Wayne Milner
