My current boat is 21' and weighs almost 3000 pounds. I bet you think weight isn't relative to strength in boats capable of running in heavy water. Depending on the care taken by the home-builder, he could well have a more solid boat than a factory boat. Factory boats *are* hand-made, by factory workers. Some of them might come in with a hangover, and the QC guy might have one too. Many things can wrong during the build process, and get hidden. The home builder has the advantage of *knowing* nothing went wrong. You are assuming the home builder knows what he is doing. I would bet against that much of the time. Do you like ass play? Ok now someone is posting with my name. Can anyone trace this? |
