for much of its 40-year history in Holland, Mich., though it was unclear after successive owners how long the brand would survive.
Despite the technical assistance, the mahogany boats will take many months to complete. That’s unlike similar-sized fiberglass motorboats that are typically pushed down an assembly line and finished in days. By contrast, Grand Craft’s flagship 26.5-foot Burnham model takes seven months to build. It moves through five work stations with eight craftsmen applying their respective skills.“The technology allows for improved efficiency and accuracy, so it’s a better-engineered boat,” says Gallagher.
The next step is joining the hull and deck, at which point the final hull layer is planked. Burmese teak wood flooring and accents are added. All this detail work takes an additional two months. “It’s kind of like siding a house, but you’re not dealing with straight sides. You have to shape and curve these boards,” says Jeff Podhajaky, vice president of operations.
