Yes indeed!

My fear would be that a shipyard in the third world would substitute low quality materials and use unqualified welders to fabricate the hull. I suppose the OP could supply the materials for the build , and get a reputable surveyor to supervise the build.

Sueing Turkish yard for bad workmanship could be an interesting process ,unless you're a personal friend of President Erdogen!

A steel boat could be successfully built absolutely anywhere; not so sure about aluminium?
