what is the average cost of building a small 10-12Ft long runabout?

I am looking a a lot of videos on YT about home built runabout boats and I would like to know how much $ is roughly needed to build one of those runabout boats from internet plans. I've seen glen L so far and they look nice. IDK if there is a cheaper plans online though.

I don't think I would be using marine grade panels. since this would be a once in a while thing to use, at best.

I already have an idea on the outboard engines, depending on the cost I can consider building it inboard engine with a small watercraft engine.

    you should be able to get free plans. You do not need to use marine grade panels, exterior plywood will be good enough, if you are going to fibreglass over it. you may not need to even fibreglass. you are probably looking at $500 for the hull, but you will need a trailer also, Remember you will need a motor too. For a 15 foot boat you will need an outbord of around 90 hp
