I've got no idea. I know how much I'd pay for it though, probably less than you

LOL Funny your the second one I talked to who doesn't like that boat, I guess that confirms the there's No Accounting For Taste phraseCracker Larry wrote:I've got no idea. I know how much I'd pay for it though, probably less than you

Re: Flyer
Whatever floats your boat It does nothing for me personally. I wouldn't have any use at all for that boat, but I'm sure somebody would. It's a pretty toy. I want my boats to work. That's why they make all kinds of boats and all kinds of people

Re: Flyer
I like to build it to sell, I was hoping it attracts international (ebay) buyers , honestly I don't think I can use it here either, just a test run that's it, but after visiting lake Ontario I can imagine a boat like this can be a blast in this area?Cracker Larry wrote:Whatever floats your boat It does nothing for me personally.

Re: Flyer
I don't know, never been to Lake Ontario either I think if you found the right buyer they would pay a lot. $100K at least, or maybe more. I wouldn't even want it as a gift myself, I'd sell it on Ebay and buy a fishing boat.
Just because it doesn't fit my personality and needs doesn't mean that it won't fit somebody else's. Go with your gut.

Re: Flyer
A proper fishing boat around here is like gold. Of course you will get offers of 1989 pick up trucks that don't run, a variety of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes in questionable condition, playstations and the occasional "you take payments". Oh, and the guy with the $1000 40hp motor that has new jets giving it a few more HP will want $5000 trade or $4500 cash for it, when you can go buy one for less than that new...
Nice boat, I am glad the plans lay things out much better than old school plans. I think that boat would be even better with some rod holders, some beer holders, a casting deck and well, a regular deck. Maybe move that motor to be an outboard and put in a bait well and rear casting deck...

Re: Flyer
Funny there's one up for auction right now 37K buy it now, I was thinking 30 K so if this guy sells it for 37 k (probably not) I'm on the safe site.peter-curacao wrote:What would be a fair reserve price on ebay for a boat like this?

Re: Flyer
I wouldn't build it for labor alone for less than 30K. Plus materials. Lot of materials involved there to do it right.

Re: Flyer
I'm thinking that a boat like that may need even more labor and time and expense to do right under the deck, than the exterior details and metal work.

Re: Flyer
Can you explain that a little more? I think it's more or less the same what the guys who are building tunnels in their hulls try to achieve or not? Should I put 2 holes (port and star) in the step under need the waterline and feed it air with hoses above the waterline? I tried to illustrate it in the pic at frame 9jacquesmm wrote:I suggest an improvement: feed air to the step with a cut in the side. Without that, it will cavitate, too much negative P at the step.
The way I look at it: it's just a big piggy bank, loads of fun to fill, and hopefully I get out as much as I put in filling itCracker Larry wrote:I wouldn't build it for labor alone for less than 30K. Plus materials. Lot of materials involved there to do it right.
