building powerboat:details, fittings

I'm going to produce powerboats. As the beginner, I have no detailed information on building the vessels I would like to.
The type of vessel we wish to build:
• ca. 11-14 meter long
• speedboat
• FRP/Composite construction
• modern, planing vessel
• layout type preferred: sedan
• hull configuration: monohull
• the use purpose: cruising offshore (Baltic sea) and inshore

The information we would like to get:
• the enumeration and quantity of all details and fittings that we will have to buy from other manufacturers
• the approximate prices of these details and fittings
• drawings or plans of typical vessel with schemes where these details/fittings are embed
Could somebody help us with this?

I'm glad I can build my own boats. I would hate to buy one from a company like yours when all you want to do is take as many uneducated shortcuts as possible in order to jump into production. Sounds like the same old greed-motivated game people play constantly in this country. I guess it's a third-world thing ...

Hire an engineer or go to school. There aren't any short cuts to understanding structure, element dynamics, etc. I'd be happy to help, but you can expect a fee.

You don't have to guess at it, just make a list of every item you'll install in the boat, then find the supplier for that item, ask for his price, then add together all the prices you've obtained from all your suppliers. Your total is the amount you will spend.

Simple.

I supply materials and hardware lists (nuts bolts, screws, cleats, fairleads, plywood, lumber, metals, etc.) with every plan I ship. So do every reputable designers I know.

As the designer, I can also bid out the build for you, recommend builders, act as the general contractor, offer supervisory capacity during the build, and act as a purchaser for all or some of your hardware requirements, from complete engines to the smallest washer. All of these can be supplied with a price, before you purchase or sign any agreements or contracts.

This is the job of the professional yacht designer. A good set of plans will normally include a manufacture's code or item number for each piece, so you can get the exact part or find a similar one.

Exactly! That is what we are going to do! We are builders of small rowing boats (information for the1much), we want to make estimates on costs of everything what we will buy from other manufacturers. The problem is the list of these items

Look, if you want to save money you must do this work yourself. The first step is to obtain the plans and specifications for the boats you want to build. A typical designer will also include a list of materials. Do you have any of this information yet?

If not, I suggest hiring PAR or someone else who does this kind of work for a living, and paying his professional fees to do this work for you.
