I've been looking at various cutters and would appreciate guidance as to
the minimum cutter that would be suitable for building a steel sailboat
of no more than 35' loa.

I've little experience with plasma cutters and don't want to make the
mistake of buying too little or too much :-)

Additionally what features are essential for satisfactory use in the
above named project ?

Gratefully,

Courtney

I'd take this next door to sci.engr.joining.welding for the 'experts
