Aluminium kit platey

[tengals123]

I have been told a few have done them here....

Im interested in a smallish 5.0mter cubby version

im interested in any info anyone can provide me

the search function here doesnt seem to work that well

I know curran 4.85 cuddy was about $5,500

im looking to spend around $6,500 on the kit

any suggestions or experiences?

thanks in advance

not too sure if a 5 metre Boat would be worth building yourself, might be, but I kind of doubt it, have you priced a "store bought" one recently?

yeah looking at the 5-6 mt range atm

big savings if you do it yourself, but takes time

average 5.3mt cuddy is around the 25-30K mark fitted out

can build a kit for well under 20K fitted out (boat only, no trailer, no motor)

but just trying to find out some more detials
