Harbormaster Bill of Materials

The following material listings are an estimate of the materials required to build the basic hull. The material listings are intended to serve as general guides only and should not be used to purchase materials until the various options and alternatives have been checked to the work. The listings are only an estimate and may vary with the amount of waste encountered in the work, the sizes and types of material available, and other variables that cannot be controlled. The hull construction materials are based on the square footage of the hull and may vary depending on how the materials are utilized. The figures listed include an overage factor, but it is probable that additional material may be required due to waste, defects, etc. The listing does not include material for the deck, canopy, and cockpit structures or joinerywork due to the possible variations and options. Materials for the temporary form members are not listed. In all cases, check the plans and instructions for options.
