This of course would increase the cost dramatically but save a lot of time and problems. My recommendation if I were ever to do this again, would be to go new with all of the parts required. I have acquired just about all of what is needed and made maximum use of e-Bay when looking for parts. Foster Sparkman – Saugus, CA (Editor’s Note: This boat was for sale in 2006 for $250,000 but we don’t know if it sold) Audeen – 16′ Classic Mid Engine Ski Boatīuilt by Al Neil(Ontario, Canada) – I am in the process of building the Audeen. Argosy – 42′ Cruising Yachtīuilt by Foster Sparkman – Built in 1986 and it cost $23,000 with a Ford 135 HP Diesel. I couldn’t hope to buy anything close to it in Australia and so the decision to build was clear. One of the reasons that I decided to build the Aqua Cat is because of the unique design. So, for about 26 grand I’ll have a boat that nobody can buy for any price because I made THIS one. Wood, West System epoxy & SS Fastenings = $3500ĭeck fittings, hardware & upholstery = $1500 I have a steel fabricating business with many employees that have made this project possible but so far have spent well over $250,000 Aqua Cat – 18′ Power Catamaran Overnighterīuilt by Daniel Bucklin(Australia) – Total Cost/2009: $26,300 includes: Robert Sanson – Saratoga Springs, NY Andante – 38′ Semi-Displacement Cruising Yachtīuilt by Don Bakker – I have been working on this project between 13 and 14 years and it’s just about complete! I’ve used high gloss mahogany throughout the entire boat, granite counter tops, teak flooring, underwater lights and camera bow thruster, Raymarine electronics, and auto pilot, it has an electronically controlled John Deere engine. Total cost was about $3,500 and took 6 months to build.
