I know a family who did this and built out the interior themselves. From what he told me, it goes together fairly simply but you'll need willing help.

Not sure on exact cost, but I think it was considerably cheaper.

Cousin built one just north of Cameron / Grand Chenier. When he had the shell up he sprayed the entire interior with Isonene insulation. some walls he left and painted, some he covered with hardy board and painted that. Been up on the pilings 3 years and from what he tells me it shows no signs of exterior pitting or rust. I know its early yet but I've seen salt/brackish water work pretty quick. He is having some surface rust on the seams of his water tank though.

If I were to build one down south, this is what I would build. There is one down towards Reggio that took on Katrina and still standing. There was a 30' water surge there and the camp is about 18' up.
