Excuse me if I appear a bit negative and I certainly have no wish to
rain on your parade, but just what do you expect for 9K? I admit that I
am not familiar with your chosen design, but if it is larger than 18',
your expectations are out of order with reality. From experience,
estimate the total cost of the project in both time and money. Then
double both and you might be close, but I doubt it. My topside paint
alone cost 16.5K. Steve


Steve, Ken,

I am not sure what we are talking about. I have answered question asked
("Why...") and that is it. My choice is certainly different that yours -
and this is normal. You do not know the boat - fine, I do not expect you
to do the homework. But finally, what is your point, guys? I mean, apart
from the fact that you seem a bit disgusted with the fact that I am going
to sail *cheap* boat?

Cheers,

Peter
