Decent materials like pre-preg carbon? no, your right... you wont build one for less than £100

Perfectly suitable materials for something that will likely be chopped up and modified repeately? easy.

Bearing in mind theres a good chance all the first generation designs will suck... (none of the standard hull design principles really apply in a boat focused entirely on trying to plane as soon as possible or wallow in its tiny LOA) all the first hulls are going to be built around short lifespan/low cost untill we figure out some kind of theory on how these things will work

Not if you build them out of decent materials they can't.

...not including rig. Hulls can easily be built for than when you realise they are smaller than an optimist.
