This boat does not fall into a category with most production fiberglass boats of a similar type, therefore, this website was prepared in order to provide as much information as possible for a fair and equitable review.
She was designed and built with a philosophy that was developed from many years of experience, research and observation. This boat is truly a one-of-a-kind. It was custom built for an owner with a lifetime of boating experience by a builder with a lifetime of boat-building experience. There is no other boat available today with this complete combination of safety, convenience, functionality and looks.
Underway in Punta Gorda Isles, Florida.
She was designed by the builder and owner to be comfortable, safe and sea worthy. Reserve buoyancy, free-board and stability are greater than most. There are numerous hand rails throughout the boat to make it safer and more comfortable in difficult seas. Many of the additional safety features in this vessel are not available in production boats.
It is constructed completely from aluminum which is stronger and more ductile than fiberglass and will tend to dent rather than fracture and splinter. This along with aluminum’s fire resistance make it a safer alternative to fiberglass.
The boat is equipped with a complete inventory of safety equipment over and above what would be found on the average 26 ft. cruiser.
The owner and his wife are both experienced boaters with many years on the water in all kinds of conditions.
The builder has many years of design, engineering and building of both commercial passenger vessels as well as pleasure craft.
This boat is currently located in Southern Connecticut. It is in storage after taking a trip from Western Florida to Connecticut through the Intra-Coastal Waterway. It has performed well under some extremely adverse weather and sea conditions and is now waiting for it’s next commission.
Please enjoy your tour of a life’s worth of experience and research developed into the ultimate custom 26′ pilot house cruiser.
Welcome Aboard, Captain!
