Where is the best place to find boat kits for sale?
If you've decided to embark on your own boat building project and have chosen using one of the many boat building kits available as the way you are going to do this
, one question you may have is where is the best place to find boat kits for sale?There are a number of options you have here. The first of these and probably the most obvious, since you've probably already been searching here if you've come across this article, is looking online.
The internet contains a wealth of information on all aspects of boat building, from boat plans, to boat building tricks and tips and everything in between, including where to buy boat building kits and the stores that sell them.
You'll be able to find a massive selection online as you can to search many different stores and also get a good price for these as you can compare between each.
The downside to this method of searching for boat plans online is that if you can't find a relatively local vendor, delivery costs could end up being extremely expensive. The wood needed to build a boat is not going to be light! Also, the cheapest method of shipping will be ground shipping, which could take a long time to arrive.
The internet is also a good tool for helping you find boat kits in other ways too though. For example, you could search online for local marine chandleries and boat specialists and then call or visit these in person. They may not sell boat kits online themselves, but can put you in contact with other suppliers or give you advice on the best way to buy boat kits in your area.
It may be the case they do sell boat kits themselves too, just not online (due to delivery problems as mentioned earlier), so by speaking to them directly you can find all this information out. The internet is not the only option for doing this either and it could also be done by looking in your local telephone directory too.
My final point to helping you find where to buy boat building kits, is again an online tactic and that is by registering on forums and asking people on there. If you mention where you are from and what you are looking for, you may just be lucky enough to find someone with useful information that could help you. The offline version of this would be to visit your local boating club and doing the same, maybe posting a request on the noticeboard.
As you can see, there are various different ways to find boat kits for sale. Which is best for you will depend on your situation and where you live etc., so choose the option that is best for you, or try a number of different ones to see which gives the best results.
