The Canadian Electric Boat Co., USA, LLC - Electric boats, seats 4
adults, 15' long with silent electric motors.
Most boatbuilders do it for speed. But we had more sophisticated
pleasures in mind when we invented the E-boat.
Because to truly relax - to truly appreciate the scenery and the
company of your guests - you want to slow things down a notch. You want
to take your time.
That's the thinking behind the E-boat, a pleasure-craft especially
designed for those whose interests reside in more leisurely navigation.
Electrically powered, the E-boat is silent and non-polluting, easy to
maneuver and comfortably seats four adults.
And despite it's classic design, it's decidedly modern in every other
respect. Solid and reliable, the E-boat requires little maintenance and
is very inexpensive to operate.
So perhaps now is the time to discover the E-boat - and the fine art of
taking your time with family and friends.

Manufacturer of C-Dory boats and TomCat catamarans, mono hulls and twin
hulls. Includes specifications, options, suggested prices and dealer
locator.
The first C-Dory, a 22' X 7'6" "Flat Bottom" was introduced in late
1979 at the Seattle sportsman show. The new boat was a tiny cousin of
the Marben semi-displacement hulls being built at the time by Roy
Toland Inc. doing business as Marben Marine. The immediate success of
C-Dory's original 22' model led to the development of the line into
what it is today. Roy Toland Inc soon formed a new corporation around
the new boat line, giving it the C-Dory name. Roy Toland Inc. sold it's
tooling for and interests in the Marben line to Golden Star Yachts. C-
Dory Inc. acquired the the remaining assets of the Marben Company and
its name. Marben Marine operates today as a Dealer for all C-Dory Inc.
products as well as Honda Marine Motors within it's sales territory.
Other Independent Dealers for C-Dory are located along the East & West

Cobalt Marine - Builds functional boats combining traditional lines and
electric boats with modern propulsion and control systems.
Located on the lower Connecticut River in an area once known for ship
building, Cobalt Marine produces high quality, functional boats that
combine traditional lines with updated fiberglass construction. The
electrically powered 13', 18' and 21' models, products of
owner/designer Phil Schiro's uniquely innovative and practical
imagination, offer simplicity of both design and operation by the use
of two submersible electric motors mounted inboard and independently of
each other.
This system, similar to the Zee drives found in some tugboats and Coast
Guard boats, not only eliminates the need for a helm and rudder, but
also affords exceptional versatility and maneuverability.
The quiet calm of electric boats is a refreshing change from the
pressured pace of today's lifestyle, but it is their non-intrusive
quality that allows us to actually experience, first hand, the natural
world of our lakes, coves, rivers and bays.

C.W. Hood Yachts, Inc. - Builds the Wasque line of downeast style
powerboats.
The Wasques trace their lineage to Downeast-style Bass Boats built to
ply the boisterous waters of Buzzard's Bay and Nantucket Sound. In the
early 1970's a group of experienced yachtsmen from Martha's Vineyard
took the lines off a much admired lobster boat that often fished off of
the southeastern tip of Chappaquidick known as Wasque Point. The
venture caught on quickly, and they found themselves in the boat
building business, soon adding a John Alden designed 26-footer to round
out the line.
Today's new generation Wasque designs, built by C.W. Hood Yachts, Inc.,
continue as versatile, fiberglass, bass/picnic boats incorporating the
best features of the classic New England Bass Boat with an
aesthetically pleasing, easily driven hull form. They are used mostly
as family picnic and fishing boats, and like their forebearers, are
known for their good looks, seaworthiness, and are treasured by their
owners.

Ebbtide Powerboats - Manufacturer of hand crafted luxury sport boats:
Mystique, Campione and Dyna-Trak lines.
Things are changing every day in the economy and in the global
situation. Some things are changing at Ebbtide, too:
We have a new 21' dual console deck boat-the 210 dual console combines
the roomy functionality of a deck boat with the bright colors and
youthful attitude of a bow rider
We have a new 23' linered bow rider-the 2300 BRL with center walk-thru
transom allows you to enjoy the beauty and the lines of the 2300 bow
rider along with the functionality of a deck boat
Several models are now available with your choice of full carpeting or
a fiberglass liner with snap-in carpet
We've added several "striping" options
Extended swim platforms are now offered on many models
We now have a 10-year hull warranty and a limited lifetime stringer
warranty.
But some things haven't changed:
We do things a little differently at Ebbtide. In the past, most
"quality" boats were "hand-laid". But it's a slow process, and it's
difficult to pump out tens of thousands of boats per day that way.
Those manufacturers who felt the need for these large numbers went away
from "hand-laid" to faster systems such as "chopping".
While a chopper gun is faster, there is also a great chance that the
lay-up will be inconsistent. There is a tendency when "chopping" to put
in more chop, which builds bulk, and less woven or knitted material,
which builds strength. And, because more material is put on at one
time, there also is a tendency to use more resin and less glass --
which creates a more brittle lay-up.
We choose to build fewer boats with more control over the process, but
we are one of a very few boat builders left who fully hand-lay every
boat.
Some may use terms like "hand-laminated" or "hand-rolled" to make it
look like they are "hand-laid", but "the proof is in the pudding." Ask
them if they use chopper guns. If they do, you're not getting a true
"hand-laid" boat.
Each new model continues our dedication to excellence. We strive for a
boat that will last and a ride that is brisk, smooth and quiet. Take a
test-ride and you'll see for yourself what a difference Ebbtide can
make for you and your family.

Emerald Powerboats - Manufacturer of luxury powerboats.
In 1994 Russell Sullivan and a small group of investors created
Frontier Plastics Corporation DBA Emerald Boat Company (The Company).
The new Boat Companys plan was to develop and build a state of the art
entry-level line of family boats. Aside from the initial investment,
the Company received outside funds from its affiliate, Frontier Pacific
Corporation. Over the next three years, it established dealers and
built their product line. Due to public demand, the dealers began
requesting larger performance oriented boats. In 1997, we had an
opportunity to purchase the Seebold Powerboats line of molds, after
short deliberation we acquired the molds that included models ranging
in size from 19 to 33. A new business plan was forged. To give the
Company a boost into the
performance pleasure boat market, we decided to use the strong
reputation of the Seebold powerboat line in the Mid-Western United
States.
The Company began producing the Seebold models and their own 26
deckboat and retired the smaller entry-level products in late 1997. In
early 1998, with the change and expansion of products, The Companys
existing management was experiencing difficulties with the
responsibilities of the growing business. By mid 1998, the Companys
founders decided to restructure management, and in November 1998
appointed Russell Sullivan as President, Brad Collins as General
Manager and James Proctor as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Collins, an
accomplished boat racer, had recently sold his boat company, Mirage
Boats of Texas, which he founded and successfully operated for 10
years.
The new management team evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of the
Company and its products, determining they had great potential, but had
to be more refined. In this segment of the market, the product has to
be defined race boat, fishing boat, luxury boat, etc. It was decided
that the Company would build luxury/performance boats and market them
as Emerald Powerboats. The Companys positioning statement and slogan
became, "Where Luxury Meets Performance".
With the new product definition, the Company altered its business plan.
For 1999, the Company would maintain product awareness in the industry,
and bring its products into focus for the "New Millennium" while
maintaining sales.

Hallett Boats - Makes full line of sport boats. Includes product
specifications, photos, pricing, and available options. Located in
California.
Boat industry legends arent made overnight...they are earned through
years of experience, successful operation and a talent and a
willingness to create original product that stands apart from all the
rest. For more than four decades, thats exactly what Hallett Boats has
been doing. Earning its reputation by building the finest boats for a
discriminating and appreciative clientele. Making a name for itself in
the custom boat marketplace that has no equal.
When we decide to add a new boat to our line, we start from scratch,
with a blank piece of paper and only a concept in our imagination.
Eventually the concept is captured in a scale drawing, still months
away from becoming a finished new boat.
The manual labor phase begins when the initial wooden jig to form the
skeleton of the plug is slowly assembled by hand. Every step must be
measured precisely. A deviation of a fraction of an inch can
be disastrous when your goal is perfection. Once the basic hull shape
has been formed, its skinned with a layer of half-inch marine plywood.
Then the same arduous procedure is repeated to create the
deck. Finally the hull and deck plugs are ready for contour sanding.
Depending on the size and complexity of the styling, hundreds of man-
hours are needed to sculpture the plug into flawless form.
When the plugs are complete, a separate mold of each must be made. To
accomplish that, the plugs are covered, layer by layer, with fiberglass
mat and cloth and soaked with resin. Once cured, the
molds are reinforced with a steel framework and separated from the
plugs. If the process has gone according to plan, the molds will now be
ready with only a minimum of detail work to begin pulling
production hulls and decks.
For the birth of a new Hallett, the entire procedure may take up to a
year or more. But the wait is well worth it as evidenced by our many
industry awards from Powerboat and Hot Boat Magazines for outstanding
new models.
Hallet Boats has a rich and full tradition. Weve won our share of
races and set numerous records in the process. We are acknowledged
industry innovators; stringent believers in meticulous standards of
quality and workmanship; and unwavering advocates of cutting edge
performance and technology. When we say, live the legend, we mean it

John M. Williams Boat Co - Maine based custom pleasure boat builder in
the traditional style of the Maine lobster boat. Full service boat yard
providing storage, repair, and restorations.
At the John M. Williams Company we match our skills and talents to your
ideas, rather than the other way around. We are proud of the reputation
we have earned for our line of Stanley motor yachts
and workboats and would be pleased to build one for you. We consult
closely with you every step of the way to ensure that the work we do
whether it be a minor modification, a refit, or a new vessel is
uniquely yours. Well give you advice when you ask for it and go
over all your choices with you.
No matter how large or small your job is, it will get our undivided
attention. With just over twenty employees, our crew will take a very
personal interest in your project. We love the challenge of working out
just how to make cockpit seats that fold away when not needed,
or how to maximize stowage space below according to a clients very
specific requests.
As a custom yard, we have not only the ability but also a real
excitement for taking on one-of-a-kind assignments.
Stanley yachts
Very few of our parts are pre-formed; most are made individually, to
your specifications. You will enjoy the ideal combination of form and
function in your boat, because we specialize in joining a molded
fiberglass hull and super- structure with a cabin finished in fine
woods. Fiberglass molds easily to the lines of a graceful hull and
provides the proven advantages of strength, durability, low
maintenance, and economy. For onboard accommodations, however, nothing
compares with the warmth of wood's glow, the "friendliness" of its
touch.
All interior finish work is done to the highest yacht standards. The
cabin soles are not plywood veneer; rather, they are individually laid
pieces of teak splined together with T-shaped sections of holly.
The overall feeling belowdecks is one of functional simplicity
perfectly combined with traditional yachting elegance.
Let us build you a boat that is yours in every way If you envision a
distinctive vessel imbued with your personality, representing an
extension of your lifestyle, we believe this is the right yard for you.
We would also welcome an opportunity to build an all-wooden boat, or a
one-off of another design you prefer, whether sail or power.

Monterey Boats - Manufacturers of powerboats including bowriders,
cuddys, deckboats, and cruisers.
During the past two decades Monterey Boats has established itself as a
true frontrunner when it comes to designing, developing, engineering,
and building superior boats for the conscientious marine consumer. Much
of our success can be attributed to the fact that Monterey is an
independently owned and family operated company. This promotes quick
reaction to market conditions, efficient decision-making and
implementation, as well as a hands-on approach to the process of new
product development as well as customer relations. When you purchase a
Monterey you are not just a new customer, you are considered to be a
new family member. This mentality, along with a true passion, tenacity
and determination, has helped Monterey Boats to become the fastest
growing name in the boating world.
Today, Monterey is a Florida-based company that is constantly
evaluating and investing in new procedures, technology and facilities.
An example of this is a new 220,000 square foot, state-of-the-art
manufacturing facility addition to complement our existing production
plants. This new addition was fueled by the large demand for our boats,
and it allows Monterey's greatest asset: our human recources and their
work, to excel by operating in a progressive, safe and comfortable
environment. We openly invite you to call and arrange for a guided
tour. Monterey also stays abreast of current cutting-edge computer
software applications that we can incorporate into our future
development. We also have established on-site prototype and revelation
testing facilities. This allows our in-house team of designers and
engineers to plan, constantly test and evaluate all phases of bringing
future models to market. This system of checks and balances ensures
that you will be buying a boat that has met and exceeded our stringent
requirements. We pride ourselves on our ability to combine all of the
ingredients that are necessary in order to be a benchmark in today's
competitive environment: new standards in safety, performance, high
styling, ergonomics and luxury are incorporated into each and every
Monterey.
In order to maintain the highest possible customer loyalty, Monterey
Boats, and our global dealer network have strongly committed to a long-
term customer satisfaction focus. Monterey's authorized worldwide
dealer network is well trained in product knowledge and after-the-sale
service. We consider this commitment to be critical to our controlled
growth and success, but most importantly it ensures a path of ongoing
boating enjoyment for you and your families.
At Monterey we are always looking for ways to enhance and refine our
company's success. Our entrepreneurial spirit dictates an unquenchable
desire to peer into the future, think beyond boundaries, blaze a path
with integrity and forge ahead with confidence. We will always provide
you with consummate products and service that will make you a gratified
and loyal Monterey family member. All this and more translates into a
company that is a leader and will continue to be a leader. This is why
Monterey is more than a boat
it's a way of life.

Niccolls Lite - Designer and builder of the NN10 nesting dinghy or
tender for your sail boat or yacht. Fiberglass construction.
Welcome to the site of Niccolls Lite. Whether it's an innovative marine
product or an innovative creative service, they're all here.
Three boats in one, one boat in two. The NN10 nesting, cruising dinghy
is the biggest/ little dinghy, tender, day sailor to be found. 10'2" of
real sailboat that nests down into a compact 5"8" package that stores
on just about any small to mid size deck or car top. It rows, powers
and sails with the very best in its class. Its two separate hulls are
unsinkable, together or apart. Three separate models satisfy serious
offshore cruisers, coastal navigators, or those wanting effortless
rowing pleasure to and from. And she's a great, safe, but exciting
trainer for new sailors.
Three tasks in one unit. A brand new multi-purpose marine mate that
functions admirably as: 1. Dock Steps and undercover Storage, 2) An "up
and down the gangway" Dolly. 3. A Dinghy carrier. Three in one and
priced to sell.
About time! Now you never have to wait at the height of boating season
and on the edge of an ebbing tide to transport your equipment and
supplies from car to boat, or house to boat at the lakefront. The dock
steps that have served you well, flip right side up and convert to a
strong, reliable Dolly in seconds. It can be dissassembled and stored
on board for extensive cruising, and reassembled in 10 minutes for
transporting up to 150 lbs. in soft sand and 250 lbs. on the hard. And
that includes your favorite dinghy with the use of easy, bolt-on
extension rods. (Not supplied)
Nautical and Architectural magic to scale. These are models with a
difference: authentic miniatures of the real things in a style that is
warm and appealing. In the case of models built specifically for pre-
sell, the style is consumer friendly and of sufficiently large scale to
capture the details, features and benefits that customers require to
make decisions. To replicate a prized possession, like a favorite yacht
or residence, for years of enjoyment as a valuable keepsake on the
mantelpiece, the combination of size and quality of detailing makes all
the difference.
Barry Niccolls has lived several lives in one lifetime. It's been
everything but boring. With a family motto like " never give up", and
an attitude like " go for it", Niccolls has gone from a public speaking
and counseling career at the upstart age of 19, to entertainer, writer,
director, producer, designer, inventor, builder, and manufacturer.
Somewhere in the process he's been a co-foster parent of special needs
children and is a Father of five sons. Sailing has always been a
sustained passion, inherited undoubtedly from his Grandfather, who
sailed in the tea clipper era of the late 1880's and 90's. Niccoll's
vast experiences have brought him full circle to a multi-tasking,
marketing life with a "back to the future" emphasis on writing and
public speaking.

boats for work, recreation, fishing, and family adventure for over 30
years.
NorthCoast Boats
when you hear the name, you think solid, no-nonsense
boats, built to last. That is precisely what the NorthCoast team is
dedicated to; building boats for the job at hand.
Our boats are manufactured in our Bristol, Rhode Island facility.
Bristol has long been a center for quality boat building. We continue
that tradition by building boats based on years of experience. We dont
just build the boats, we use them, fish them, try to abuse them and
they just come back for more. The NorthCoast owners have been building
boats for over 30 years at the top east coast builders. Several years
ago, it was decided to bring this experience to bear in our own
product. We are a family owned business committed to the best.
Our sales team is equally qualified and dedicated. Drawing on years of
various experiences in boat building, retail sales, and quality
management, our team works with each client to insure a unique buying
experience. We offer custom boat quality at production prices and our
group is there to make sure you receive what you want.
Our design firm, Bill Richards Yacht Design, has over 45 years of on
the water and design experience. This design team is spearheading our
product development. Being naval architects and marine engineers gives
this group the edge over the competition in bringing solidly designed
and constructed products to the market. The design philosophy is
purpose built, conservative designs, that will last and last.

Patroni Machine and Design - Builds a two man fiberglass rowboat for
recreation, fishing, lifeguard use.
Beach Patrol standard
This new patented boat design (meets USLA race specifications) has less
interior space which can fill with water. It has a center trough so any
water weight is centered in the boat as it bails out. The deck clears
it's water out the side holes, while water in the cockpit (trough)
drains out the stern. The cockpit design allows for easy adjustment of
the seats and foot braces, to accomodate different rower heights and
provides precise balancing. This boat is made in 2 pieces, the hull,
and the liner. An access port is installed to sponge any residual water
under the floor. Standard boats are $6,800 plus shipping and sales tax
if applicable.
Custom boats, sliding seats and other custom interior fabrication is
available. This work is quoted separately at the labor rate of $50 per
hour

Rainshadow Marine - Patrick Mahon builds Maine coast lobster boats and
is located in Port Townsend Washington.
At the turn of the century, the boat most commonly used in the lobster
fishery was the sailboat called "sloop boat." Today this sailboat is
known as the Friendship Sloop.
With the advent of reliable gasoline engines in the early 1900's,
engine driven boats brought improvements to the fisherman's daily life
in the way of safety at sea, and greater carrying capacity. The gas
powered boats allowed the fishermen to go further out to sea and to set
more traps than ever before.
The first of these powered boats was simply sail boats modified and
fitted with a single cylinder engine. Soon new boats were being
developed and built for the new engines.
Two distinct styles came into being during the early years of
transition from sail to power. The open "Hampton boat" with its high
bow and wide-curved transom was developed in the Casco Bay area in
Southern Maine, while further North, or "downeast" in the Maine
vernacular, a narrower boat with a torpedo stern was favored.
The boat that now typifies the Lobster Boat style is a result of a
refinement and blending of the two styles that took place during the
1920's and the 1940's. There are still differences to be found among
the boats built today, from region to region, and between the various
builders. Some builders and fishermen favor the "builtdown" type of
hull with its greater volume, while others feel the "skeg built" boat
is lighter and faster, requiring less power. These differences are not
noticeable on boats in the water and the two styles are virtually the
same in all other respects.
All Lobster boats have certain design features in common. The high bow
with its fine entry lets the boat cut through the seas while keeping
the decks dry. The sheer line sweeps low aft to a curved and slightly
raked wide transom. The hull shows considerable tumblehome just aft
midship to the transom. This combination of low freeboard and inward
curving hull sides facilitates the hauling of traps. Underwater the
round bilges provide a smooth motion when under way or when stopped to
haul pots.
The wheelhouse with its large forward windows affords the helmsmen full
visibility, while the open back allows for easy access to the working
deck and fishing gear. Most of the boats actively fished have the
engine placed well forward, sharing space with the crew's
accommodations. The forward cabin was sparingly fitted with a bunk and
simple galley. On cold days and nights the fishermen could warm-up by
going below to have a cup of coffee while sitting close to the open
engine.
The boats used today in the lobster fishery are a result of the
collaboration between designer, builder, and fisherman. The same
features, refined and tested under the harsh and demanding conditions
of commercial fishing, are what make the lobster boat the ideal
pleasure boat. The beauty of its lines and proportion, and its
functional simplicity result in a craft of distinctly traditional
appearance.
The lobster boat is an important part of the New England seascape, in
the same way the Church on the village green, or the brilliant autumn
leaves are part of the New England landscape. It would be hard to
imagine Camden, Belfast or Jonesport Harbors without the woodenslatted
traps waiting on the docks or the Lobster boats riding at their
moorings.

Manufacturer of quality rowboats and rowing shells since 1976. Little
River also sells sculling oars and rowing apparel.
Welcome to the nation's premier manufacturer of rowing craft. Little
River Marine has designed and built a range of products for all your
rowing needs. All of our rowing shells and rowboats are hand crafted.
Our skiffs, such as the Heritage 15 Sculling Dory or Heritage 18
Sculling Dory, are very stable rowboats that are perfect for exercise
or family trips. Safe and dry, these boats are aesthetically beautiful
and well crafted.
Newest to our line of skiffs is the Heritage 12, which is a compact
version of the Heritage 15, designed to be a great sliding seat yacht
tender and for people with space limitations.
Open water rowing shells, such as the Sprint, Sea Shell, or Cambridge,

even handle the ocean. In calm waters, almost anyone can learn to row
these sculling shells in one outing.
A crossover shell, the Regatta has a open water hull with a flat deck,
for ultra-light weight.
Flat water rowing shells, like the Olympus or Pro Am, are for
competitive sculling and training. They are best suited to athletic
people who do most of their rowing on calm water, but the speed and
grace of flat water sculling shells can be amazing!
