Custom Built Boats
Almost all boats are constructed on a production basis, as this is the most
efficient means of
production. There's only one set of molds and many boats being built from the
mold, reducing the cost
of tooling per boat. Normally, there are a limited number of options to make
assembly line production
more efficient in terms of cost. Leaving the ranks of production boats, there
are several types of custom construction. There are many boats built with a
limited budget, which is normally by amateurs. If you don't want to build the
boat yourself, the next level available is what sailors call "semi custom"
boats.

These semi customs are normally built by small or mid sized
shops out of one set of molds so the
hull and decks could end up being identical. The builders will however, allow
the owner to pick
out the interior and other options.
The true custom built boat, or one of a kind boat, is specifically designed and
built from scratch
for a single customer with an unlimited budget. A true custom boat is a one on
one project, and
can get very expensive before you know it.
Before you decide to go out and buy a custom boat, you should give the used
market another look. Those
who have built custom or even semi custom boats in the past do put them on the
market for sale at
some point or another.
This is a much less expensive way to go, simply because you won't be paying a
professional to design
the boat from scratch. You can find used boats that offer one of kind features
and options, all you have
to do is look around.
