any update or progress on the model

I spoke with Tom kellenbeck at ocean innovations on LI, NY. He made the deck molds for Resolute, he has
Experience making everything fiberglass. Good filler job for him, I will gladly follow up with him if we can provide
solid orders and $$$. BH

that would be great, steve is on the island, and could drop it off
just looks like we hit another dead end with this project

Not a dead end, but it is hard to find some one who can do reasonably. I don't remember how many guys bought in, but that will be the number who should order one, but I bet we only get 10 orders.

But if we had a rough pricing Idea, if we could get 5 or 10 then maybe we could kick this up again if Bob has a guy.

if I was back on the island I would pick up the ball

I found a glass shop not far from my house that will do the half model for us. Need to get the mold sent up this way or I can pick it up in Greenport at the rendezvous. Need a rough count to help with pricing, once we get to that point a firm price with white gel coat will follow.
I will take the lead on this if you guys give me the go ahead. BH

Bob - if you can take the lead, that would be great.

I think the best way of pricing is to go with 10 models and then ask what happens if we get to 15. We should make 10 easy.

I would be in for a half model depending on budget. I think we should build in some margin so we can make a healthy donation to Patrick on top of all costs. I can't remember what the acquisition cost of the plug was, those guys would need to have that discounted out of the price. I would think that $150 to $200 for a nice half model would make sense. Am I out in left field or is that about right?

bob theres a list of people that donated to purchase the model
I am sure its over 10 people
steve should have the list, and the # that was donated
thanks bob and steve
as rocket said

Bob ... please give name and contact info for the guy on the Island that can do them.
I have the mold here on LI and will gladly contact him, let him check out the mold and we can go from there.

Steve, sent you a pm, Tom is a great guy and I spoke with him a month ago about this project. If he is too busy and or can't get to it let me know. Have a local guy who builds dinghies and is also interested. Not trying to step on your toes just trying to help. BH

No offense taken,I was just the guy close to the mold in Lauderdale.
I will gladly contact and try to get ball rolling.
