In this episode, Marsh and Liam get real about how to choose the right boat — whether you’re a DIY builder, a fabricator, or a first-time buyer. They unpack the key differences between dealing with sales reps and working with designers, what red flags to look for in boat sales, and how to make sure you’re not just buying a boat — but building the right one for your needs.

Expect some CNC Marine banter, plus helpful tips on:

• How to talk through your boat idea (even if you’re not sure how to explain it)
• What features to consider based on how you’ll actually use your boat
• Common design traps (like flooding keels and stepped hulls)
• How to future-proof your build for upgrades later
• Boat design trends — what’s smart vs. what’s just hype

Plus, Josh (videographer) jumps on the mic to share his behind-the-scenes filming stories, sea sickness included.
