As Animal and Heal have noted, this has been a fascinating thread. Having Joe Pica share his experiences with and knowledge about his boat has been pretty enlightening. Big kudos to Ken for taking the time to share his thinking with us and to explain a lot of the design and build considerations a builder has to make. I do like his position re a more "utilitarian" interior v. money spent where it counts in a boat. As I go through boats at shows, I am constantly amazed at the build $$ spent on interiors. It seems to me that a builder trying to meet both a "glitz" factor and a price point in a market, has to decide where the build $$ go. In many cases more of the $$ go to the glitz rather than the function.

More builders, especially smaller or custom builders, should emulate Ken and share their stories where appropriate on forums like this. They might just find an extra sale or two coming their way.
