By all means buy a ferro boat.....
if you never plan to sell it (or are prepared to write off most of your investment). As you said, some are very well built but the potential market is VERY limited. I looked at a professionally built one many years ago and the owner was selling if for less than what he would have gotten for scrapping it and selling the fixtures, fittings and equipment. I knew one in the Rio Dulce called "Mixto Listo", very apt name.
