Tiki in Thailand
I have a bunch of photos of Creeds boat as I was interested in it before I knew the story. It was being marketed to me.
Not all of us that go to Thailand for a boat are "bottom feeders". Some of us are willing to pay a fair price to get "Hylas", "Hans Christian", or "Outbound" quality. An interior of a Hylas 46 is an amazing thing with wonderful quality. That RB Tiki looks just Ok. Barely the quality of a Catalina built in Florida. Certainly nothing to be proud of as a custom boat. If the Hans Christian craftsmen came over to inspect the interior of that Tiki, I think they would be laughing all the way to the bar.
Maybe quoting higher, and giving the customer a little more then he expects would be a better business model.
