You must not have clay soil out there lol going down sucks tooMaybe it's easier to go down rather than up? Dig a basement , deep! Build your boat vertically Dutch! We know you have climbing gear and a harness and what not...

Not like other places, no. But about 12-15 inches down at my house is a hard stop! Former farm field I'm afraid and whatever depth the discing stops is a nightmare. Overall rocks are the biggest hazard here. I did see the other comment about clay but I didn't know that or think of MA for clay soil before.
I'd still like to see a true saddle boat build though

If you are price conscious, look into the Amish sheds.
I had 2 friends do sheds approx. sized like yours, they found that the prebuilt was only a couple hundred more delivered.
The quality of construction was good, but be careful where you buy there are imposters out there masquerading as Amish built.

Not much to add here except that I'm putting my Shopsmith (1950s-era 10er for those interested) back into service and re-organizing my (chaotic) workshop. Haven't touched it since moving 6 years ago. I mostly use it as a lathe but have the pillar drill, horizontal boring, and table saw attachments, and I'm sketching out jigsaw, bandsaw, and panel sander builds. Could be an option to maximize floor space in your cramped shop.
At an old rental place, we put up a 10'x20' ShelterLogic tent-thing for boat/etc storage and to recover some garage space. If your jurisdiction doesn't consider these tents as 'structures', that might be an option for workshop space. I've also seen people set up yurts for the same reason, but a circular floorplan and small doors doesn't lend itself to woodworking. These tents do get cold in the winter but you can insulate them with bubble wrap and fire up a buddy heater while working.
