I am not saying everyone is cheap or even mean to suggest Ives is. Please dont get the wrong idea.  I Just want to point that out right away.  His last two suggestions were just a good point to mention that things are getting a bit crazy and overwhelming with the wish lists.  I got this covered.  The kit will be a very nice project that is affordable and very easily upgraded.  Mostly each builder will be able to do so with the tons and tons of info out there on Pegasus.  Sure it would be much easier for most if I was able to do the extra work and put it all in the box...but then you will probably be looking at a $350-$375 cross section kit...rather than $225.  Which w0uld not be an issue for some of you but most would just say no way....and I would not sell many kits.

 

But let me work on the "base" version first and I can always add other features once it is all done....for an extra price of course.  But I can tell you for sure that I wont be plating the kit or doing any masting and rigging.  I am sure you guys can cover that aspect and do a fantastic job of it on your own.

 

In fact I learned a lot about the market with the Cheerful and Barge kits.  So many people want so many different things its not possible that a kit that comes in a single box will satisfy everyone.  So like the Cheerful, I am thinking about oferring this Cross section in installments.  

 

- Base starter package with all framing parts and keel with build board

- Exterior details package - planking and details

-Interior details package - deck framing and fittings

-adition one-off extra upgrades - to come much later 

 

This way it will be possible for even just a small price that someone could buy the framing and just bash/scratch build everything else.  And it would be in everyones budget hopefully.

 

I am also considering breaking down the Barge kit into two or three installments for the same reason.   But for now I will keep it as is.  I really want to try and make this so you guys have the most options and wont balk at the price tag.   

 

I am not calling anyone in particular cheap....but just as an example...I have guys asking me if they can just buy 6 feet of rope or just five 1/4" single blocks so they dont have to spring for an entire package.   Its really crazy.  Because after cutting them a six feet portion I would be able to somehow sell the remaining 14' in my scratch and dent section.   I am surprised every day by the unusual requests and most are aimed at finding a way to save a few bucks. I get it...things are tough for some folks.  I am not trying to minimize this.  I am trying really hard to think outside the box within reason because you guys would be amazed how much this matters and the large number of requests I get.  But I just cant sell you five blocks at .40 cents each and mail them in a regular envelope with a 50 cent stamp so you wont have to pay the regular shipping.

I agree with chuck,   if you by a car you cant ask for bying half the car👀😜
