The construction site at Jarrett Bay Boat Works is located on the ICW
at Adams Creek, North Carolina. We frequently stop there for fuel
since it is about halfway between Florida and southern New England.
After watching the video you get an appreciation for how much work
goes into building a boat of this size.

Whoops, here's the URL:

Very nice, thanks for posting.
I looked around a bit, but couldn't find the cost for that boat. I'm guessing a million plus?

Probably between 2 and 3 million by the time you get it fully equipped
and ready to roll. Custom boats are very labor intensive since there
are no existing molds to start from and everything is hand fitted.
"NASCAR driver Jeff Burton's 46' custom boat being built by Jarrett Bay Boatworks. This video covers the entire 1 year build process from January 2010 - 2011."
Now that was impresssive. But even if I had the disposable funds, i think I'd still by used. Let the first owner take the hit and buy a lot cheaper..
