Boat is located in: Point Pleasant, New Jersey

My choice of construction was to be 4 layers all laminated in a unique manner that no other builder has done.

Frames were laminated in a jig to the bullet shape 1 piece, no seams or joints.

The first layer of planking was 5/16ths x 3/4 - 2" shiplapped.

After fairing it received 2 diagonal layers of 1/16th x 4" Douglas Fur veneer that was laid heavily in liquid glue and stapled in place.

A total of 35 gallons of glue was used in the laminating process.

After fairing the third layer of veneer the outer layer of Honduras Mahogany canoe shaped concave convey was laid heavy in glue and stapled in a pre determined pattern.

This out layer of Mahogany was 5/16 x 13/16 planking placed end to end would total 1.8 miles!

The first layer of planking on the bottom was 13/16 x 1 1/2" with two layers of 1/16 Diagonal Fir and 1 layer of Mahogany producing a 1 piece laminated bottom 1 1/4 thick!

The sanding was done with a 5' long flexible fairing board.

Then finished with Chris Craft Mahogany Filler Stain and now up to 28 hand rubbed coats of varnish.

Always kept inside custom floating garage with internal lift.

I have done all maintenance myself and have been the only operator.

Inspiration for the cockpit shape came from a 1947 Chris Craft that I once owned.

The back seat accommodates a 80 gallon L shaped fuel tank.

Engine was purchased with a 1.5 to 1 Borg Warner Velvet Drive Trans and out a Cupped Nibral 16x24 Prop.

Quick to plane and cruise @ 1700 RPM - Tops 4500 RPM over 40 MPH.

Compression check on motor was perfect.

New manifolds, risers, hoses and elbows were just recently added.

Boat took a year and a half to build, it was launched in June of 1998.

A bow thruster and second battery were added in 2012!

The double axle trailer was purchased in September of 2023.
