Hi Chick thanks for the reply. It looks like I have a couple of builders interested here. I have sent off an e-mail to Carla re height on trailer. Its not a simple matter unfortunately of a new pre fab carport. I already have a carport and its a fixed part of the house and no where else to keep her other than this carport. I guess what I'm asking is can this be built as an Outer Banks 18? The slightly reduced size - 10% less will make life a lot easier to deal with storage logistics and be a little easier and lighter to tow. Down here we have state restrictions on the beam of boats and trailers and as she is now she'd be a fair bit wider than my car, and on the limit of what's legal. I have posed the 10% size reduction to Carla, for Graham. I am wondering if the plans can come scaled down too. I am thinking if everything is 10% smaller it should still retains the proportional shapes right through the boat. I know other boat plan makers say consistent slight scaling of no more than +/- 10% is ok, but I guess its a question for Graham. Thanks John

Hi Ron I new at this forum, and have been searching for something like the OB20 for many years. Simply superb. Can you tell us approximately many hours you would have put in so far and apx cost of the materials used? Its a gorgeous design and you are bringing that to life. Well done Best John

Hello I'm new to the forum and I am very keen on the Outer Banks 20. I have a few of questions that I hope don't sound silly! The Outer Banks 20 boat shown on the B&B Yacht webpage called the "Princess" is simply stunning. I was wondering how many hours was put into this boats construction? I do realise boat building time is a bit like the "how long is a piece of string", but an idea as to the labour involved would be good, as if I proceed I'll be going the costly way of putting this in the hands of a professional. A rough idea of building time will let me do some basic math on the labour. I have already one estimate of time back, I'd be happy for others to jump in with their experience. Next was wondering about the height of the boat on a trailer? I have some storage height issues to tackle. hence the question. Next - not overly crucial but related to my storage issue, is there any issue with the boats performance if the boat was scaled down by around 10%? Many thanks John John Slater Sydney, Australia
