Just curious which one of us holds the record for taking the most time to build one of these boats??? I am going on 18mos (partially because I moved from Boston to Houston, but mostly because I am slow and easily overwhelmed!). I have really enjoyed the project and am finally coming to the end. Just need to slap some varnish and paint on the MC 16.5 (probably take me another 2 wks- seriously). Anybody out there taken longer than 18mos, and still completed the boat?
