Yeah, but there is something special about being able to hunt out of a boat you built with your own hands and the fact that you can make modifications to it as you build it or over time to accommodate your hunting style.

I agree and the same can be said of making your own bow and your own arrows and taking game with them - or designing and tying your own flies and making your own rod and taking fish with them. Even if they may be less expensive the time involved in making these things by your own hands is considerable but deeply rewarding.
