Crystal 16 Flats Skiff Launched!
Construction photo's updated 3/18/13!
Since founding Smith
Marine Design in 2003, I
have sought to design boats that are not only beautiful, but practical
as well. While other designers choose to live on the bleeding edge, I
prefer to design more traditional shapes and forms. In my opinion, too
many new boats look like the designer didn't know when to stop! The
amazing thing is that in their desire to create something different,
all these designers have done is create cookie cutter boats that all
follow the same formula. Euro transom . . . check! Radius corner
windshield . . . check! Elliptical portlight . . . check! It seems the
only boats that stand out at a boat show now are the ones with
traditional, wholesome good looks. Good
design is more than just style. I try to design boats that are
efficient to build as well as to operate, virtues that never go out of
style!

As
the logo above suggests, my specialty
is powerboats for sportfishing
and cruising. I love small boats and put as much effort and care into
the design
of a
15' skiff as I do the design of
a 45' sportfisherman.
My goal is to design the boat
that fits your needs, fulfills your
dreams
and fuels your desire for boating. Whether
your need
is
for a custom design for one-off construction,
a design for series production or a stock plan to build in your
backyard,
I hope you will consider choosing Smith Marine
Design to
design your next boat.
