I'm hoping to come in at ~70 if I build it myself. If I go in with somebody though, I told my wife don't expect much of a reduction. I also have plenty of time but will definitely need four seats. My aughter is only two and we're hoping to have another on the way in a couple months. Of course, it doesn't help when your wife talks you into buying a boat, even if it is only 10k ;). But she insisted that she have something to do on the weekends that I'm building. Hard to argue with that.
