@TheSpruit Cost was about $400 US Dollars depending on the material used to build. I used White Oak and Mahogany. Can use pine or spruce too. See the web site regarding geodesic boats. Most come with plans and some materials. Weight also depends on material. Mine is about 20 pounds and can handle about 250-275 pounds of weight.
The boat is actually made using a nylon/dacron skin glued to the gunnels using heat and bond tape (like hot melt glue) and then heat shrunk ot the frame. I just took the boat to the ocean for a quick paddle. Cold Water!!! I think I will make a small outrigger for it. Might want to look up "mosquito in my pool" as it shows the boat in use.
Wow. Nice boat buddy. Get your wife to buy you a video camera for christmas and tell your kids to show you how to splice a soundtrack in there and show us an update.
Thanks. Still floats almost 4 years later.

Very well done. That's one hell of a do-it-yourself project right there.
