I echo all of the sentiments mentioned; I'm in the middle of my "last super custom" project with a 23 for my family that I am setting up to go for 40 years (pass on to my boys). With all of my inside experience, sources, accounts, exposure to super cool ideas, and super custom open checkbook projects that I planed and executed when I had my full service business- it is still a challenge:

I started with a day of team work disassembly, a "project pallet with 4k plus of resin, bedding compound, coosa, 1708, mat, etc, etc, etc. and it's been full bore one or two days a week for months. If you want to take the opportunity to built the exact boat that you want, and honestly plan to keep it for a good while (10+years), and have a boat handy rating of 6 or above (on a scale of 1-10), have at it: if you can put the time in, it'll be one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do-- Just remember;I warned you!
