Yes it is. Factory is in Bremerton (wsw of Seattle).

 

[wdlfbio]

Allied sent me these today.

They’re required to take breaks at specified time, which is what is going on. That’s why you only see one guy.

 

[Corey_lax]

Don't let OSHA see you sitting on the top of a ladder, even if it's a small one.

 

[Pineapple Express]

Who is the naval architect that's done the design? Or is it designed in-house at Allied?

Can't stop, won't stop. I just window shop but you go to town! May/June seatrials?

In house, with a fair bit of input from me, since #1…

I’m stopping. These 1-offs are a serious amount of work and I’m ready to sit back and run this boat until it (or I) fully erode.

The cool part, for me, is that future customers will see the variations available and have a better idea of what they may or may not want. And that goes for whether they have Allied build one or another builder. I know I’ve RDd (rip-off design) plenty myself . I’m figuring we will be running her in April and fully dialed by the time we start shrimping the San Juan Islands (May).

Come on down and when we get to fishing and check her out while we bloody the deck.

For sure! I want to spend more time in the San Juans. There is a slow boat rendezvous I need to get over to as well. We can raft up!

Went back to Allied today. Took a little video of the progress. I especially love having them within an hour of my house. They’re awesome about asking me to come up and place the various pieces exactly where I want them. It might seems silly or trivial, but being able to walk through the boat and say “this is exactly where I where I want the aft Axioms, where I want my Burnewiin rod holders, where I want the cup holders, where I want heater vents, etc.” makes a big difference. Sure, you can put things down on paper, but standing there makes a world of difference. This is another reason for choosing a builder that asks customers what they want versus “this is how we do it”.

 

[Corey_lax]

Awesome build. Storage compartments is dialed lol

 

[Sea Chaser]

Needs more rod holders !
Looks great man .

 

[Rain City]

Everything is so crazy dialed. Add trimming that brow to their deficiency list though .

 

[wdlfbio]

Dang. I’ll have to look at that in more detail next time. Not something I noticed walking around it several times.

I'm sure there were 18 000 more interesting and important things to look at.
