So what he can do is pay 100.000 bucks to basically make a boat that will be identical in specs to say a 19.800 US$ Falcon. Last time I checked, boats with identical specs were also of the same performance.
There is simply no way around that limit.

You just don’t get it. Yes, both boats will be same weight and dimensions, but one would be a Glass boat with alloy beams and carbon mast, the other would be a full nomex/honeycomb boat with increased hull volume.
Catamaran designs lately are showing the larger hull volume boats (to a certain point) are proving quicker. A great deal of the reason why the Viper is competitive with boats much lighter boats is because of this and the increased platform stiffness.
If you think a 107kg all carbon /nomex Viper would not be quicker than the current Viper and other F16s, plus significantly more expensive, then you are delusional and this argument will just keep turning a full circle....... However, that is where I feel we are now.
