If you wanted a 25 footer (hardboat) sports style, by the time you had tooling ready to start production, I reckon £100K, this is assuming you want it to be good quality in all aspects, design, straightness and 'true to design' accuracy, finish etc.

care to add anything TD?

I'd stab at between 5 and 10 grand to the designer, depending on his name / past record.

Strange - working on a design proposal at the moment for a 8M open boat - non RIB. Based around a single diesel installation.

Tooling costs coming out way below the 100K mark.

we reckoned for a open boat eg a rib etc about £50k. based on the fact that my mate (not me so dont shoot the messenger) has been quoted £15k to make a splash mould of his hull and deck

You mean 'moulding' as apposed to 'mould', product as apposed to tooling
