Where Our Passion Began
Growing up in
a family that spent weekends on the water, I can't imagine a
life without boating. I had the experience of boating in a
great variety of conditions, primarily in the Northwest: water
sports on the lakes, crossing the Straits of Juan De Fuca with
huge tide changes, strong winds, and rollers from the Pacific;
exploring and fishing in Canadian, Alaskan, and
Florida
's coastal waters. These were family affairs and fun times. We
were also testing new models or ideas for Livingston Boat
Company, Reinell, Bayliner, Wellcraft, and Regal.
I have
incorporated the ideas and experiences of an insatiable user
into the structure, design, and quality that I want in a boat.
Our company
was started in 1958 based on a philosophy of quality and
'doing things right' and the reputation we earned continues
today. My father and brother (each a seasoned boater) work
with me daily. My brother David earned a Bachelor of Science
in Product Design from the Art Center College of Design and is
responsible for design related matters. and my father Dave is
probably the most accomplished boat designer in the world.
Creator of thousands of models for various manufacturers, he
can boast that more people have owned a boat that he built
than any other designer. We concentrate on one model at a time
from ideation through in-house design, testing, and
manufacturing. Our sales effort is lead by Jeff Messmer who
has an impressive history in sales and customer service. In
our shop, boats are put together by some of the most
experienced boatbuilders in the Northwest. With an average of
15+ years in the business, our staff works hard to ensure that
when you're in one of our boats, you'll have fun on the water.

John
