Despite high labor costs and environmental restrictions a fair number
of boats are still being built in the U.S. I'm convinced a builder
could be found in the U.S. or Canada that would build the boat for
substantially less than $50,000. Possibly the boat's pricing could be
structured with low price for a bare bones class-legal racer with
optional features at additional cost (v-berth cushions,
quarter-berths, electrical, and the like). My boat came with a bunch
of unnecesary features that I didn't need and never used. I wonder if
anybody has talked to Ron Moore in Santa Cruz who somebody said last
year had expressed an interest in building the boat??
