Nait, I would suggest that you are looking to become a financier and general contractor in a foreign land with unknown contract workers, no knowledge of the materials and procedures, or the local laws and regulations....In other word, you are going to be getting into a disaster andlosing all of your investment, as is typical for "project" boats that are huge projects for folks with no experience with them.

More typically someone starts one of these in their back yard and ten years later, is trying to sell the half-finished hull for a dime on the dollar just to get it hauled away as scrap.

Better to buy a boat that you KNOW has been properly built and working order, even if that is only 1/4 the size you want. Then get some years of experience with the issues and start your project knowing how to manage it.
