So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.

Does he say how much it cost him?

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

No, he only says that it is affordable to a medoum sized budget.

My educated guess is that it costs around 25,000€ to build this. The ePropulsion engine and battery you can see in the video is about 10,000€ of that.

He also took 200 days to build and that's pretty hefty
