OK, I'll admit that was a really rough scratch pad - and I did point out that I hadn't included labor or foils. So what is the difference in labor and materials between an a-cat and, for instance, an F18.
Note I wasn't trying to pick on your numbers Jake...but regarding the diff between A & F-18, I couldn't say for certain as I have not run numbers on an F-18 (need to be successful with teh A's first...baby steps for the new business!!) I do know that the skill level to get a proper set of full carbon (or Kevlar) lightweight hulls versus a heavy glass boat like an F-18 is not insignificant. It also takes more time. For example we are triple bagging to get proper laminate adhesion throughout whereas (I believe) most F-18s are completesly layed up and bagged once. We also weigh out "exactly" the correct ammount of resin when wetting out also, so the skill level in making that exact ammount work as opposed to over wetting and pressing out the excess is much higher.
