<p>No, with your backround go straight for the 46; I have a similar backround, built my first Wharram in the 70s, now building a 46footer. Go straight to it , man! </p>
<p>Incidentally, you will not get your investment back in money, imho. If you still are undecided about purchasing the plans, I would advise you to choose a more contemporary design. If interested, ask me back for details..</p>

<p>Point 1 has always been a concern of mine and then with point 3 over the years I have seen some nice Wharrams sold for not much more than the material cost. But I also think there something to be said for building my own house or boat so as to understand what I am working and living with.

<p>After building a smaller boat you will either:</p>
<p>1. Realize you do not want to take on the task and years required to build a larger boat,</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>2. Think that building a smaller Tiki translates into easy building of a larger Tiki (which is most certainly does not),</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>3. Will convince you to save the time and just buy an existing boat.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Regardless, building a smaller Tiki will in no way speed up the process of building a Tiki 46 in any measurable way.</p>
