they are fairly reasonable, you can get into a competitive boat, for 5-7 grand. It's alot cheaper if you decide to build one. The boat I'm racing belongs to a friend of mine....he barrell rolled it on mothers day in a race and broke some ribs, I had done quite a bit of work on it up to that point so he asked me if I wanted to run it for the season. I am planning on building a boat this winter, they are actually pretty simple to build (well, I'm a cabinetmaker so to me it is a relatively simple project), they are 1/4" plywood bottoms and decks w/ a 3/4" plywood cockpit and 3/4" hardwood ribs to stiffen things up.
