Or have you been collaborating with her on scatter cushions?You tend to have production, custom and semi custom boats.
A custom boat is pretty much a blank canvas for potential owners to work with. There will be some areas of the boat's design which are set in stone but an awful lot can be changed.
On a production boat all the major design choices have already been made. The new owner selects from a series of options. Fabric choice, selection of extras which might include generators, climate control, cabin fit out - do you want a third cabin or a lower dining area and so on.
Semi custom is half way between the 2 and that's what we have seen here. Fundamentally the design and layout of the boat is set in stone but owners can jig things around and choose more major equipment options such as custom trim tabs, stairs from the interior to the flybridge and so on.
Composite (glass fibre) boats are more limited in what changes can be made due to the structural need for bulkheads in certain areas. Metal hulls generally allow for more radical interior layout customisation.
I would say that JFM is pushing the envelope of production boat semi customisation. Not all manufacturers would be as accommodating as Fairline.
In terms of "having boats ready to finish off" boats tend to be scheduled and built in a production line from start to finish in 1 go. Generally speaking each boat already has a customer be it a private individual or a dealer. Occasionally a factory might build a boat on spec hoping to sell it during production or once completed.
A very crude overview.

The "B" depends on how gangsta you are.
