Maybe he meant 5 figures in Swedish kroner.....


Nope. Five figures in US dollars. I've seen a couple sites that custom
cedar strip boats with a price tag over $10,000. Here's one example:

On the other hand, I spent about $750 to build my cedar strip Outer Island

I've seen them advertized from several places in the 5 figure range.


Do you really mean 5 figures, as in $10,000+ or 4 figures, the first
of which is a 5? I can agree with the second. Careta Boatworks makes a
nice stripper for ~$5000. I think Allen Sinquefield's baidarkas are
quite a bit less.

Of course, they're not in Sweden
