    Default Want advice from recent Pacer dinghy builder(s) - Brisbane

    Hi folks
    I'm researching building a Pacer dinghy.
    (Yes, I know where to buy plans, etc.)
    What I'd like to hear from any recent builders of Pacers is their estimate of costs of materials.

    Specifically:
    1. What was your cost of materials to build the construction jig(s)?
    2. What was your cost of materials to build a boat hull? (all the wooden bits, incl rudder, etc.)
    3. How much workshop floorspace is realistically needed?
    4. & finally, if you were to build one more Pacer, what materials would you change? (I'm thinking here of types of ply or types of wood, etc.)

    Thanks

    Doug

    PS I live in Brisbane. If anyone has the construction jigs and may wish to sell, let's talk!

    Default Pacers in Brisbane

    Are you looking to build in timber, or guidance on the works with details on the timber bits?
    Corey at MASRM Boats over at Northgate is building 2 of them currently in glass - He took over some years ago from Merv Anderson who would have built over 100 pacers (in glass) for the Brisbane market, Corey is a good bloke and worth having a chat to.
    Cheers,
    MichaelT
