Hey Rich, I think the builders file is a "nice to have" not a "have to have" item. I can't blame South Shore for cleaning them out after storing them for thirty years. You're not missing anything. I find the C&C plans from Kingston Museum much more useful and refer to those often to find answers. My two cents.
I bought my boat's builder's file. Mine has letters from the buyer's dealer to the plant that show's her original cost and there are parts lists and many inspection lists showing a few things that were screwed up and needed correction. ie: the prop strut was not set properly into hull mold and that needed to be corrected and the mold tweaked. Some interior paint was mismatched and redone. The parts lists would be valuable except all of the suppliers are out of business now. Much of the hardware was made in house. It makes an interesting read, as you can relive the excitement of the original owner waiting for his new yacht, but it doesn't answer many questions, so I keep it filed. I treasure the plans I bought from the Kingston Museum and keep a 24" x 36" sailplan hanging on my living room wall.
