Re: [Electric Boats] Re: 47' Catamaran Project

 

This is a great post.

There are 2 ways to build big boats .. and yours is one.

The other is to go all out, all day, every day, with industrial tooling,
power lights and storage.
The difficulty with this is you need all the cash up front, and wont be
working doing anything else.

It is cheaper to do the second way ..
even if paying for the site.

Also, if possible, buying in bulk and using industrial equipment, will
be a lot cheaper.
A bilge pump is a "harsch service" conditions industrial pump, for example.
Cost / output is typically 10-30x cheaper than "yacht stuff", and the
products are a lot more durable.
