I have become interested in building a power boat, specifically, the
Glen-L Wee Hunk Pacific Dory (16') as a general purpose run around the
bay, up the river boat. My son thinks I can buy a boat for less than I
can build. My general estimates are as follows:
Motor (new) $4000
Other $1000
Trailer $1200
Total for building: $6200
He believes I can buy a used similar boat for less and he may be right.
Any perspective on this?
There is one indisputably good reason to build your own: There is
nothing else you would rather be doing, even including boating. Saving
money is a rationalization, but not likely a reason.
