It seems I always have a few projects on the drawing board you might say my new painting of one of my Favorite boat builders it was the small details that was so noticeable about his boats. Everything in boat building comes down to the small details and challenges of building a boat. Much has changed over the years and boat builders have had to make changes to keep up with their clients requirements for power &'s other things. My first understanding of this was after a conver

At one time our message was all about our ability to meet engine back pressure and exhaust sound and we still do both very well. But in recent years one of the most important benefits has been our ability to save needed space. Space onboard especially sport fish boats has become one of the biggest challenges in building today . With power increasing and the demand for more speed and range and with only a limited amount of real estate aboard space for more fuel is now the numb
