Hi Robert.
If you are seriously considering building a K boat, you'll definitely need
the plans. There are an awful lot of parts you'll need and it will depend
on how you wish to do each bit. There's a lot of choice with motors,
valves, pipework etc.
As a rough idea, I think my boat has cost £30,000. That includes machines
I needed to buy, plus t I spared no expense and made quite a lot of
modifications.
Hope that helps
Regards
James
