After you have decided to build a boat and bought the plans, the next thing to do is find a place to build her. A boat that is 38 feet long and 23 feet wide needs a bit more then a garage or car port to build it in. Unless you live on an acreage and have a few outbuildings, you will most likely have to rent something. I was looking for space for a couple of years before a shed became available at Shelter Island Marina in Richmond British Columbia. Shelter Island is a commercial yard and things are expensive.
Shed cost 4500 dollars, used, and I still have to pay 650 dollars a month in rent for the space the shed sits on.
One big advantage is all the trades people you might need are there, welders, riggers, fiberglass workers, etc., and there is a store for small purchases. You do not want to buy any production material at the store as it is also expensive. But you know, a few of extra dollars at the store might save you a couple of hours driving when you need just a bit of something.
