wrote: Boy, Now I'm shocked!! One of your group advised not to use Glen_L plans due a poor resale value of plywood boats?? 1. I"ve been doing some reading in books, mags, and internet forums for about a year now and all I've seen is "Glen-L is one of the best". 2. All I've seen is a well built plywood boat, glassed on both sides, is so much better than a fiberglassed production boat. 3. A good wooden boat is worth it's weight in gold due to the great detail work that goes into them and last so much longer than present day boats. Wouldn't this increase it's value, rather than decrease its resale value. So who's right? I do understand some home-builts look terrible, squared off, with poor paint and overall poor quality. But I understand this is in the minority of boat builds. The normal is a "great looking, high quality, well made piece of art, built to last a lifetime of enjoyment". Mike, Pensacola, Florida If you are concerned about getting a decent return on investment, buy a restorable boat. |

On the other hand, If your looking to build something that you can call your own, and don't care what the other 1/2 of the world thinks whom actually have never built a mashed potato mountain on a dinner plate, build whatever you like and call it yours. You can always claim originality....) M Russon |
