    Who wouldn't at these prices..........

    From Daily Telegraph newspaper in Napier 1871

    CHARLES DAYS
    shipwright, boatbuilder etc.
    Port Ahuriri
    is now prepared to build boats
    as follows
    Under 20 foot one pound per foot
    20 to 25 foot 22s 6d per foot
    and from 20 to 30 feet 25s per foot.

    How prices have risen over the years. You wont get a 30 foot anything for $75.00 now days.
