I receive a lot of questions and comments regarding the true cost of building a boat from scratch, full size patterns, and kits. Since I track time and materials closely, I have found that building from kits makes a lot of sense from an economic stand point. I took some discussions with customers/potential customers and put together this PDF on the economics of kits.In a nutshell, the cost of building from a kit is not as much more than building a boat from scratch as people think because of the extra plywood required to build from scratch not to mention the time savings.
In the meantime, we are making progress on the first professionally built Goat Island Skiff (yawl version) which will be at the Maine Boatbuilders Show in Portland on March 18-20th. Please stop by. Well be in building 2 near the stairs up to food court.
When I post next, Ill have a PDF link that goes into more detail about how the designs/kits are produced in CAD and CNC cutting.
