How much money would I get back out of a newly built sup?

I would like to gain more experience in shaping and glassing, but I’m on a budget. If I build an 11’ all around versatile sup for around $460 would i be able to sell it for $460 so I can build another sup? Would i need to include a paddle and/or leash? It would come with fins, either one long sup fin or a thruster setup.I would prefer to sell it locally around the tampa bay area, if that makes a difference.

You’d have better luck asking your question at this site.

Hey Meat,

 

It depends on how well you make it. If it looks good then yes, if it looks like a POS then no.    There are a lot of SUP out there on Craigslist.

lets take another comparative example,

If I were to make a $4.00 hamburger

could I recoup the cost

to make another hamburger?

A very hard q to A.

…ambrose… 

build it and you will know after…

Columbus took a chance

with Q. Isabella’s money.

why not ask your friends if they would like $450,00 SUP Otherwise make Hamburgers if they don't sell at least you have dinner.

Paddles cost as much as $400.  Leash you must know.

As said, depends what it looks like.  If you shape well, have nice colors, you should recoup at least that and maybe a hundred to 2.  Add a 10" fin box on the deck for mast track, and it's worth goes up about $50.
