Making the second boat probably takes about 1/3 the time it would take to do them individually. There is so much stuff that is repetative. Also, stripped both decks today and that really saves some time. I would put a strip on one boat and then while waiting for the glue to dry, glued a strip on the other one. Otherwise, would have been much wasted time waiting for glue to dry. Not looking forward to sanding and finishing both boats though.

: That's cool! Is it almost as fast to make two hulls as it is one?

: I did a Tred Avon that way, with a fir/redwood deck. It turned out nice, but
: a few pounds overweight because of the fir.
