Info

Shearline Boatworks is a unique builder of custom Carolina Boats that utilizes the latest advances in 3-Dimensional Computer Design complemented by CNC Routed components. The use of this technology allows the customer to design the exact boat he has in mind. The building process starts with the customer interfacing with our computer design software and drafting his vessel. Starting with power and length constraints, the process evolves into a completed boat. The Shearline customer has the ability to design every aspect of the project from fishbox size and location, to the position and shape of the center console. Clarifying the final design in 3-D gives the customer and builder every opportunity to examine the entire project, and agree upon the 'Final Construction Drawings.' This process saves time on the shop floor, as the design is conveyed to a CNC Router, and physical construction begins. All Shearline Boats are then cold molded on the CNC Jig, and hand built by skilled carpenters. All cloth is hand laid, and West Systems Epoxy is the only system utilized during construction. The wooden core of the boat is encapsulated in epoxy and cloth, leaving no wood exposed and every surface coated. The boat is then hand sanded to its finish surface, exclusively utilizing AwlGrip paint products and topcoat. Rigging and hardware is all placed on the boat at the direction of the owner, from the style of rod holders, to the length of the outriggers, and preference in navigation lights. The final product is a perfect Carolina Boat, built specifically for one customer, one at a time.
