Georgs,
I think the Buster design is great. 3100 nm range with a 15% reserve
in a vessel of that size is fairly remarkable. Anyone can design a 60
or 80 footer to be comfortable, but it takes real skill to organize
the necessary space and amenities in a 30 footer, and one with 6'5"
headroom to boot.
Any thoughts on what she will cost to build?
I generally estimate build costs in China/Turkey at $6-$7 per lb, $11
per lb in the U.S./Canada and $16/lb for a production boat. All as a
very rough rule of thumb.
