    Alot.
    When you say "a small flats boat", is it A boat, single? Or is it A type, many? I looked through your past posts and I see you've had a few questions along the same lines, what have you found out?

    Not a whole lot. I havent had much time lately to look into the subject and i was looking for information from people here, since it seems to be a good place to start.

    Im looking to find the costs involved per boat basically. im looking at a 17' flats boat mold and am trying to figure out what it will cost me to actually make one once i have the mold. I cant seem to get a straight answer or a ball park figure anywhere. just a guess from some people who have made boats is really all im looking for at this time.
