A "stick built" boat denotes one where the interior cabinets and bulkheads are individually tabbed to the hull and deck, as opposed assembled on a liner and simply dropped in and glued in place. Hull liners make accessing the actual hull skin problematic. All of the very expensive, semi-custom boats such as Hinckley, Lyman-Morse, Alden, Morris, Pacific Seacraft, Little Harbor are "stick built". Your analogy in differentiating these from "manufactured housing" type, mass produced boats is quite correct, albeit unintentional (I think).
