Is That So (Bayliss 64’) is getting her final top coat in the paint bay this afternoon, and if you caught our last update, you know just how much work went into the fairing and guide-coat prep to get her ready for this moment.

Looking at the team in action today, each painter actively spraying has a partner moving right alongside them. That second set of eyes stays on the surface of the boat making sure to catch any dry spots, hold hoses clear, and ensure perfectly even coverage from bow to stern.

Shout out to our amazing paint team for their detailed work, you guys rock!

Is That So ( Bayliss 64’) is officially in the paint bay for stage one of her full paint. To guarantee a smooth foundation, the paint team coats the hull in a guidecoat before taking the longboards to the surface. As they fair the hull, every inch of blue has to disappear to ensure the boat is fully sanded. If a blue stain remains behind in a localized area, it immediately exposes a “low spot” that needs attention. The paint team re-fairs those low spots until the profile is 100% faired before anything else continues in the paint process.

Stay tuned to see Is That So’s final finish, which isn’t bright blue!

Take a look at Hull 40, Mama Seata’s, custom coffee table. Handcrafted entirely in-house by our interior carpentry department, this piece showcases the detail and craftsmanship that goes into all of our builds. The exterior of the table is framed in warm, solid walnut, anchoring a centerpiece top made entirely of burl. Formed by a knotty tree growth, the natural grain of the burl creates intricate, one-of-a-kind organic patterns that ensure no two pieces are ever alike. 

We are thrilled with how this piece came out and can’t wait to see it installed

A major transformation is happening in the Bayliss Boatyard as Mojito, a 66’ Spencer, has entered the yard for an extensive top-to-bottom refit. Her transformation has begun with a repower featuring twin CAT C32B 2025 HP engines, supported by Onan generators, Twin Disk transmissions, custom B*W rudders, and an Optimus steering system, while two brand-new Seakeeper 6s provide added stability on the water.
On deck, she is getting a fresh teak cockpit, an upgraded PBT standing platform, new underwater lights, with the help of overhauled windlass and pulpit systems. She is also getting a complete electronics refit with the help of CME, relocated centerline sonar, new transducers, and upgraded fire systems.
Inside, the living spaces are being elevated to match her mechanical power. The salon and galley feature newly veneered woodwork, custom teak ceiling accents, new sofa and dinette fabrics, and Sub-Zero appliances. While every stateroom below receives new padded wall and ceiling panels, custom bedding, new carpet, and updated granite countertops in the heads.
