Its got to be pretty hard to put a price on a new boat, as a large part of that cost has to be on the tooling, so the amount you sell the boat for is closely related to how many you expect to sell, how many $15,000 A class cats will you sell a year?

In a previous post Bob Roberts indicated that tooling was about $50,000, thats alot of money to recover on what is a very labour intensive, low volume, product to build.

I work in the Automotive industry and with parts that are made from Aluminium and plastic, you can usually get them made for not much more than the raw material costs, so if we could find another 500,000 people like us every year our cats would probably only cost a few hundred dollars .
