A Spear skiff floating on clear shallow water

Start a build

There is always a line. Where you land in it depends on when you call.

One set of molds, two boats on the floor at a time, and Harry's hands on every hull. Tell him about the water you fish and he will tell you straight whether he can build the right boat for it.

Currently booking into spring 2027.

How a build actually goes

  1. 1

    You tell him about your water

    The form below takes two minutes. Where you fish, how you fish, and how much weight is going in the boat. That last one decides more than people expect.

  2. 2

    Harry calls you

    Not a salesperson. Him. He has spent 7,500 days on the water and he will tell you if a different hull, or a different builder, is the better answer.

  3. 3

    You hold your place

    50% to start, 50% on delivery. That first half buys the materials and puts your boat in the queue. Harry walks you through all of it on the phone first, and no money moves until you have both talked and you are sure.

  4. 4

    He builds it by hand

    Hand-laid, two on the shop floor at a time. You will get photos as it comes together, because most people want them.

Bank wire

Harry gives you wire instructions himself, and he'll confirm them with you on the phone before you send a dollar. If banking details ever show up in an email, changed or otherwise, call him at 850-545-8578 first. He would rather have the extra phone call.

Start the conversation

Or skip all this and call him at 850-545-8578 or text the same number. Text him first if you can. He answers his own phone, but a text means he knows the call is worth picking up.

Name the water. Harry will know it.

Fly, plug casting, bait, or some of each.

Your weight and your fishing partner's, roughly. This matters more than anything else on this form. Every twenty pounds changes how a hull runs, poles and drafts, and it decides which boat is right for you.

The thing the boat has to do well, above everything else.

A number, a range, or just tell him you want to hear what it costs.

When would you want to be fishing out of it?

No list rental, no spam. Harry is the only one who reads this.
