I had the good fortune to see the boat under construction in Boyne City and later watch it run where I boat on Lake Charlevoix. Stunning is an excellent description. It almost seemed a shame to risk putting something so beautiful in the water!
One cool detail is how the engine hatch lifts and then slides back electrically. The lift is accomplished using a modified Land & Sea outboard hydro-electric transom jack. Very creative folks and excellent craftsman. When running, it is seriously loud.

It’s a true cold molded wood boat.
They built a wooden frame (all designed on a 3D cad system) and laminated the mahogany planks to it under vacuum.
There are also two separate exhaust systems in the boat, one that runs in a muffler stage, and the other is a straight pipe arrangement.
There is a tremendous amount of detail in the boat. Everything is well thought out in the boat and it shows, both in the boat and the recognition it has garnered.

I did the original 23' Alpha Z for the same owner. He is the most exacting and fastidious person that I have ever been around. His thoroughness shows in this beauty. Can't wait to see what he does next!
