Dan Bottjen is CEO; son Wade Davis is President, Cathy Haynes, CFO. Buddy remains Chairman of the Board and Chief Designer. We have a workforce of 75 employees and are working in a new, modern facility of 55,000 sq. ft. B&D Boatworks is one of the premier custom Sportfisherman Builders in the United States. Since 1973 Buddy, age 57, has delivered over 300 large Sportfisherman and has recently embarked on a new style and design of very sleek, solid and fast Sportfishing Machines. All of the new B&D Sportfishermen are built on Fixed Price Contracts, unlike the Time and Material Construction Contracts (standard of all other Carolina Builders). We pride ourselves on our ability to deliver a quality product at a fair price with great resale value. Our construction techniques feature an epoxy laminated okume cold molded hull and an all molded composite fiberglass super structure. The finished B&D Boats are 20% lighter than their production counterparts, equally strong and very exceptional sea boats. We offer a full set of standard and optional equipment and a wide range of Engine and Generator Options. B&D has delivered 66-101, powered with 1550HP CAT C-30 and a top end speed of 37 KPH, 60-101 with 1650HP CAT C-32, with a top end speed of 41 KPH, 60-102 with 1550HP CAT C-30, 60-103 and 60-105 with 1500HP MTU 10V2000 have all been completed. 60-104 is 75% thru construction, with CAT C-32 1650 HP Engines and the boat is currently for sale with a Spring 2007 delivery. 68-102 through 68-105 are also under construction, powered with MTU 16V2000 2000 HP, CAT C-32, and C-32 Acert engines. 68-105 will also feature tunnel shallow (4') draft propulsion option.
