    Yielding to the industry experts of Yacht Forums…
    Who would be the best (quality) GRP/Composite boat builder on the east coast ?

    And from the list that is sure to accumulate here…
    Who would have the capacity, willingness, and wherewithal to co-op, (facility & craftsmen), or contract to build a series of 17m power yachts ?

    Croswait in NC maybe. What kind of boats? You’re kind of thin on details.

    For years Boston Boatworks made all the MJM boats which are made to a high standard. MJM recently opened their own manufacturing facility -- maybe in South Carolina? -- so Boston Boatworks might have available capacity and competence to build a series of 17 meter boats.

    Before posting here, I had received two other trusted recommendations to Boston Boatworks... we may be on to something here. Thanks

    MJM landed in North Carolina on the Pamlico River. They make a nice boat.
