What are the fastest build-time (hours to construct) aircraft kit-sets on the market, with a real-world four seat capacity?

Morgan Aeroworks Cougar would be the fastest and easiest build kit in the world maybe.

ZODIAC CH 640: New Four Seat Kit Aircraft from Designer Chris HeintzThe ZODIAC CH 640 Quick Build Kit is estimated to require only about 750 hours to complete from the factory-supplied quick-build kit.
I merely answered the thread topic's question and you only have to read the build threads to confirm how fast a Morgan can be built, it's pretty obvious and quite clever in it's KISS.Cheapracer,
I have no association or reason to defend the claims but will mention I have been at that Oz forum for a bit now where the Morgan is popular and where he gets hell over this but nobody calls him out on his claims ...Hauling 4 people on 125hp? White knuckle stuff on a hot/ high runway I think. The specs seem a bit unrealistic.
It does look like a simple kit to put together. The QB RV10 would not be in this time league for sure due to the time required to complete the cabin assembly especially.I merely answered the thread topic's question and you only have to read the build threads to confirm how fast a Morgan can be built, it's pretty obvious and quite clever in it's KISS.
FWIW I do know the 2 seater Sierra 100 stalls at a low speed that apparently impresses a lot of doubters. A close friend of mine flew one last year (that's why I know about them at all) and verified that, came in at less than 30 knots using barely any flap. Apparently it's breadth of speed, i.e. 30 to 130, is what makes most of it's sales.

Welcome to "Homebuilt Airplanes" websiteIf you are looking for fast time to fly, and reasonable price, go used factory built. You can get a 172 or Cherokee for under 20K, and Mooney for under 30K. You can be flying in the time it takes to write a check.
Well spotted; From the website "About Us" ....That cougar looks like a KR2 made from aluminum. Neat!
