Custom Built Motor Boats

At Hugh Saint, Inc., our clients get the most value for their dollar because of our superb craftsmanship, top of the line materials and equipment, and the excellent performance of our custom wooden boats!

We build entirely in the WEST (Wood Epoxy Saturation Technique) method for logevity and low upkeep. Framework and outer planking are of the finest pattern grade Honduras mahogany. Inner planking is African (Okoume) mahogany imported from France. Construction time averages twelve months for runabouts and 1 1/2 to 2 years for larger boats. All painted surfaces are sheathed with Dynel cloth, which is 6 times more abrasive-resistent than fiberglass.

Hugh Saint custom wooden boats have convex sectioned underbodies for a very soft and safe ride. Our special rudders provide excellent handling qualities at all speeds.

In addition to the standard models shown on the Custom Boats page (such as the Sheerliner and Fairliner models), we can provide custom designing to meet your boating needs featuring designs by the world class designer, Charlie Janace, designer of "Blackfin" boats.
