We have a world-class local builder who will build a top-notch glass craft for 2800.00 (3300.00 for a Kevlar) - which usually includes custom bulkheads and foot pump. He learned his trade as master builder with Seaward in British Columbia. His attention to detail and workmanship/layup put any of the Valley and NDK boats to shame. His Torngat is likened to the Explorer/Romany. But folks around here still seemed to drawn to the production boats - and paying over 2000.00 in price to bring a boat in from overseas. And our local guy has excellent customer service and will fix his boats in his shop - and will often pick up/deliver even though he is a 3 hour drive away. You can't beat that. Production boats often end up in his shop even though he'd prefer to not to have to fix the deficiencies of other makers.
