"...even if it costs them 30% more which we estimate can add
around USD$500,000 or more on a boat this size."

If my rusty math skills still serve, that suggests a (made in China) price
of about $1.7M.  About what I expected.  For a boat that doesn't exist yet,
except in marketing promotions such as Mr. Winter's.

Keep in mind that the Jones Act in the US prohibits using foreign hulls for
hire.  You may have no intention of using this boat in a charter biz, but
someday you'll want to sell it and your pool of buyers just got a lot
smaller.  But then, if you can afford a $1.7M+ boat, resale's probably not a
big concern for you.
