I am wanting to build a gator sneak boat with the gator boats plans. I have never built a boat and I am curious as to how much a boat like this would cost. Epoxy or fiberglass and how much is the epoxy/ fiberglass. And if any one has ever built this boat please tell me your opinion on the boat and pics would be awesome!! Thanks !

I would est. a cost for lumber, paint and supplys $100 to $200, depending on you choice of wood type, paint quaility etc.
That would be no fiberglass or epoxy, and probably not marine plywood. Gator boats are designed to not need either for construction. If you want or need the boat fiberglassed that will add to the cost. Est. another $100 to $150 plus shipping and supplys (brushs, rollers, etc.)
When you get your plans they will have a material list and you can price each item out for a more accurate cost.
