    Hi Folks,

    I will be building an aluminum centerconsole this fall/ winter, and have pretty much decided to build from plans that also come with cnc cut files, for ease of first build and other factors.
    I certainly do not want to offend any of the designers, but would like to gather some thoughts on differences in the models below, as far as performance and easy / type of building process.
    Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
    Considering:

    designer model loa
    specmar 1200 20'6"
    specmar 620B 17' 6"


    cope malaspina 18 18' 3"

    cope Nanoose 22 22'

    metalboatkits Trident walkaround 20 21' 2"
