THE VALUE ADVANTAGE: COMPARING "APPLES TO APPLES"Comparing boat prices can be difficult. A lower-priced boat may seem like a bargain until you factor in the cost of outfitting it for actual cruising. To bring a standard Morgan 41 up to Dream Maker's "Turn-Key" offshore specifications, you would need to invest over $66,400 in hardware alone (not including the high cost of labor and shipping). It's been done for you!
