Hi Russ

I'm not sure if a power feeder will be very cost effective for you if you are only doing 3 boats. It will cost more that any one of your boats to build, and the set-up ( hook up, alignment and testing )and so forth will take a considerable amount of time as well. Some of the production folks here use them, but are building many more boats a month than you will build all together. You could easily forgo the expense and set up time and just cut with the table saw and get under way. Just MHO !! :)
