Thinking about modern efficiencies - they usually come from being
built in numbers in the same place i.e. factory. What about kit
boats that are a little more sophisticated than the cut-out panel
type that are currently available? I've worked briefly on two of
these types of cats and I wonder if they if they are any better than
strip planking apart from being pschologically more comfortable for
the first-timer.
I have had a lot to do with fibreglass sports cars both fully
manufactured and in kits from bare body/chassis kits to part
assembled. The profit for the manufacturer is in the "big" bits not
the "little" bits - the assembly. And its the big bits the home
builder is least efficient at and is not on a clock for the assembly
part.
Soooo, would any of the present Harry models (or something you would
like to see) be attractive as a kit with say hulls completed and
faired in strip or fibreglass?
Cheers,
Jim
