About Us
What is custom ? :
The way we see it, a true custom built boat is the
product of customer input even before the first layer of gel coat is
sprayed. The customer's intended use and specific needs such as deck and
cockpit layout, ergonomic placement of grab bars, controls and seating,
everything down to the texture of nonskid on decks and the floor. Others
claim custom, but in reality they only offer custom rigging post production.
Why custom built ? :
You deserve a boat that is built to fit you,
instead of having to adapt to someone else's idea of what is functional for
their given needs. You get a one of a kind boat that works for you, and
often hold's it's resale value better than production models.
Does it cost more ? :
No, in fact it's more economical, as you are
paying for the features you want, not things you don't need.
How does
