So OpenROV has a "dev kit" that has the electronics.

That plus some enclosures and cameras plus some thrusters like the ones from Bluerobotics ought to get me going?

It's all down to time, cost, and your personal skill level or access to skills.

Personally if I can make almost everything myself, I will, unless it's cheaper to buy units, for example, electronics are cheap to build, but you need to buy the components in bulk, therefore it is cheaper to buy
