Everything remarkable begins with a dream. Magnificence is not easily obtained, nor does it come from mediocrity; this is where your dream of a custom boat begins. For you, the dream may have come naturally after countless hours on the water, or like the rest of our clients, you simply appreciate quality, custom-built boats and desire one for yourself. The dream unfolds through creative stages, which elevate the process above pre-fabricated manufacturing. Our desire is to fulfill your dream by taking your ideas, thoughts, and visions and make your dream custom-built boat a reality. No one else’s boat, but yours.

The journey begins with us gathering crucial information from you so we can better understand the applications for which your boat will be used. These early conversations ensure we deliver a custom boat that will exceed your expectations.

The design process kicks off with a consultation with Tim Winters, where line drawings are created using arrangements that fit your needs. The concept is then developed  into three-dimensional structures of the hull and exterior surfaces. Once the exterior shapes are created, the model is peeled back and the inner working layers are built out. After this process is complete, you are presented with full renderings—a glimpse through the window into exactly how your new vessel will look.  Each boat is engineered to turn heads, get looks, and exceed performance standards. With each level of design, you are personally involved to make sure we are creating exactly what you want.

We utilize the cold-molded method as our primary form of hull construction. Typical hull construction is built from multiple layers of plywood encapsulated in fiberglass or Kevlar. Each hull is laid up on a plywood jig that is developed directly from the three-dimensional models and cut out on a CNC machine. This method allows us to accurately build what was created on the computer model with extreme precision.

As our team works away from the hull construction, we utilize more composite materials. The bulkheads and decks are laid up out of composite core infused with epoxy and fiberglass. Superstructures and parts are also laid up on jigs from the CNC machine and are constructed using a bead and cove method. Our craftsmen combine technology and old-world craftsmanship through each step to ensure we are building the finest boats on the water. Each vessel is built using the best of materials and standards to ensure the quality of the product.

We pride ourselves on designing and fabricating every component of our boats. Each element is developed and built by our local machinist and fabricators. This affords us the utmost control and guarantees we have limitless capabilities. We strive to adhere to ABYC standards throughout the boat building process. We are always looking to build a functional, top of the line, faster boat.

Each Winter boat is designed and built with performance in mind. We are always striving to ensure that each boat will perform to the initial design requirements. We love speed and take every measure to ensure the craft can handle and maneuver as designed. We not only want the boat to be fast, but we also want it to be sea-worthy. Our builders have perfected our bottoms for optimal performance in all weather.
