👋Meet Grant, our Master Tech & Carpenter Apprentice! Here at ABS we believe in passing on the history and knowledge of this craft to each generation. Learn a little more about why Grant wanted to work with antique boats here at ABS!

🗣What made you want to work with antique boats? "Originally I was just interested in boats, period. I love fishing and being out on the water and boats allow that. Now being around ABS, a passion for carpentry and mechanics is growing. And the history of the boats is pretty sweet too."

What is one thing you have learned that has made a big impact? "No two boats are the same. And no one can ever know EVERYTHING."

Thank you so much, Grant! We appreciate you!

When our carpenters build boats for themselves we see lots of cool carpentry details like this custom Century toe board. We're considering making a run of these as either a toe board or boat house wall art. Shoot us a message if you're interested!

Carlo Riva certainly knew what he was doing when he christened his new model Ariston after the Greek name meaning “the best, most excellent”. The Ariston proved so popular in its day that it was to be the only model in the Riva range to remain in production throughout Carlo Riva’s stewardship of the business.

This one "Sweet Pea" is in the shop for a new bottom. We cannot wait to get it complete and back out on the water!

👋Meet Wilson, our Liquid Application Technician Apprentice! Here at ABS we believe in passing on the history and knowledge of this craft to each generation. Learn a little more about why Wilson wanted to work with antique boats and here at ABS!

🗣What made you want to work with antique boats? "At first I didn't know I did. Then I started seeing the beauty in the wood, and the finished product. Also, the intense repetition of hours that can go into the refinish process alone (like round after round of sanding, wiping, and varnishing). And getting to take them out on the water to test ain't bad either!"

What is one thing you have learned that has made a big impact? "We're encouraged as co-pilots not to be afraid to speak up to the pilot. Even the best still can make mistakes so as we say in the shop, "If you see something, say something."

Thank you so much Wilson! We appreciate you!

At ABS, any boat that comes in for a re-finish gets stripped down to its original wood (or replaced with new wood depending on customers requests). From there we bleach, stain, seal (2 Rounds) and then our favorite step in the process, we start to build coats of varnish for that glass like finish.

We use Epifanes Varnish in our shop and we build 8 coats out on the floor. For rounds 8-12, the boat gets moved into our finish room. It's an artistic process and for that we are grateful to have our Liquid Application Technician and expert, Jim at the helm.

Happy Labor Day!

Summertime is our favorite season because it's water testing season. Once a boat is about 90% complete we take her out for a "Sea Trial" AKA water test. This allows us to check that everything is running smoothly and of course, that it turns heads when it's in the water. Here we have a Chris Craft Continental, 23 Feet LONG! She ran like a dream and the owner will be very happy upon delivery!

Here at the shop, we are blessed to have Master Craftsmen work on our client's boats with care and detail. We love to be able to offer our clients customized pieces for their boats to meet their needs. This service also spawns passion projects for our team. These unique additions enhance the rich character that these boats already have.

🚨UPDATE ALERT 🚨 Remember this Century Sea Maid that arrived pretty much done for? With some delicate details and hours of work, we have her back to her original structure and looking great! We can't wait to show everyone what she looks like after a nice stain and varnish!Century Boats
