No arguement there, Shrug. As interesting as the Cassette was, the limitations and the fact that all design choices were made already took away a huge fun factor.
Perhaps if they offered it as a partial-built with options for interior and galley layout, stain-it or paint-it-yourself cabinetry, and a selection of applique stripes and designs, it might be more appealing. Being able to rearrange interior cabinet and berth modules or remove them completely would have been nice also.
The personal taste element may not be important to some folks but it sure is to me. I have seen trailers of all sizes with excellent interior layouts but I could never live with the builders choice of colors, upholstery, or paneling. That's probably one of the main reasons I'm doing it myself.
I have spoken to dealers and manufacturers in the past about custom configurations or stripped interiors and they either simply will not do it or will sell you a stripped version for the same price as a finished one. Doesn't really matter now 'cause construction is slowly under way. I'll get back at my project as soon as we finish the skiff I'm helping a neighbor kid build. Sure could use a six-bay garage.
