I know in some parts of Indonesia, South Sulawesi for example, they have traditions in boat building using natural materials and of a high standard. Hypothetically, would I be able to have a 12 mt sail boat built for around $5000 U.S? Im not sure how far that much money would go over there is all. Thanks
here is a web site that lists the indonesia boat builders, you can contact them for more info.

good luck on your quest, logic tell me that your $5,000 will not even buy the main sail for your boat.
hope this helps
No.
I don’t know where (or what) gave you this idea, but it is a false one.
We buy all kinds of stuff from Indonesia – including boats. Going there might save you the freight, but other then that, they are Americanized and just as tuned into the the Almighty American Dollar as Starbucks. In fact, you can enjoy a Starbucks while you are there.
If you go to Indonesia to buy a boat for $5,000, you are in for a really big “sticker shock”. They are every bit as much or more then any you will find in America.
