I have been slowly picking away at an FS17 from Bateau over the past 3 years. I spoke with Slip a great deal before pulling the trigger. The build has been a TON of fun. I'm actually really enjoying it. In my opinion nothing is overly difficult it just takes time. I'm only able to work on it in the evenings and occasionally on the weekends. I will admit though that it has taken much longer than I originally figured. I'm not sure what your current situation is (in other words...how much time you have) but to build one in one winter might be difficult. Just keep that in mind. With that said though...the process is half the fun. I love going out in the garage at night, turning the radio on and having at it. Plus you get to build it exactly as you want it. Anyway...feel free to ask any questions. I'm no expert, but have been living it for 3 years!

One of these days I'm going to start a thread and show the build. I have a ton of pictures and have been asked by numerous people to see them. Might be a good winter thing to do.

Hope this helps.
