10.Nov. 2010.The purpose of this trip was to inspect a boat hull that was built by the local Bajau Laut boat builder.I had intention of venturing into fishing boat chartering business at that time.
Building a boat sizes 60,16,7.in West Malaysia is expensive,through searching the net and found out that boat built in Sabah are much cheaper compare to W.Malaysia.Their different are the lumber and cheaper labor cost.Most of the lumber they used in W.Malaysia for boat building are cengal wood,because of cengal wood are getting lesser now a days,they have to import from Indonesia.Where as the boat builder in Sabah uses mostly White wood(Kayu putih)which are abundant in Sabah forest.
This is the fishing boat which is my own design to be build on the boat hull later on.
This are the pic of the boat hull that Id inspected.
Another similar boat hull selling and fishing boat for rent at the dock . TIP OF BORNEO
A place where you will never want to miss when you are in Kudat.Sabah.
