Real World Testing

We are New England boatmakers. Our boats fire up when the ice shack goes away in spring and keep the screws turning until the snowmobile makes tracks across the early winter snow. That might be a bit much for some, but then again we also think water skis and wetsuits go together quite nicely.

Every one of our watercraft is tested throughout the entire cycle of use, from launch through on-water activities and reloading into transport/storage.

We focus on details like fuel systems that stay clean and dry in any weather and high quality gel cell battery systems that are ready whenever you are, every day or on the occasional weekend; anytime from high season to winterization and spring startup.

We Are Your Inspector

Modern boatmaking & assembly, like automotive and aerospace applications, requires integration of components from manufacturers all over the world.

As a full service boat builder we complete our assembly here in the United States by assigning your craft a US Coast Guard Hull ID number and all of the documentation you need to operate your new craft.

Before that happens each boat undergoes both functional tests and inspection to ensure compatibility with US regulations and American boat industry standards.

The Quality You Want, The Experience You'll Remember

Making great memories on the water comes from years of experience and relentless attention to detail. There are a lot of fantastic boat & motor combinations for you to explore - give us a shout and let's find the right one for your application!

Electric - the power of now

Just Go

Lightweight lunchbox sized battery... That floats...

Pop battery on motor, plug in cord

You are powered up.

Fuel? Don't need it.

Oil? What oil...? With this much torque who needs gears?

Clear the carb and water inlet, replace the plugs?

Leave those to folks who like doing such things.

When you get back they may be curious

about what it was like out on the water.

In Thrust We Trust

This is power - no need to think about it

you go where you're going

it stays out of the way.

Come back to tell the tale - and do it all again

Work Smarter, not harder?

Maybe you return to dock fully charged?

Solar:

Spirit has a dedicated charging port and you've been catching rays of sunshine all day long?

Hydro:

If towed as a tender or sail-propelled the Spirit can "Hydrogenerate" and recharge itself.

Need more juice?

On the Go:

Pop off battery and go to onshore/shipboard power.

At the Dock:

Plug in and walk away.
