I was a junior in HS. when I started building my tnt, and I set a budget of $500 dollars and it is going to be hard to build it for that much, and still have a quality boat. Not to discourage you from building, but plan on spending a grand or more. I estimate that I have spent around $1200 and will spend a couple hundred more to finish it by end of this summer. Save your money up and build it without cutting too many corners. I say play it safe and go with hot-dipped galvanized. Unless you have a great deal on wood or are an excellent woodworker with precise cuts everytime, buy the frame kit, it saves time and money in the end.
