David,
I wanted to thank you for standing behind the CAT engine issues we had on the Horizon 74-612. Jarrett Bay and Gregory Poole CAT worked seamlessly to make this engine swap one of the most efficient I have ever seen. The owner has been around the boat for the whole time and was very impressed at the work done and especially the time frame that means he will be back sailing north tomorrow after only a week of down time.
Caterpillar is very fortunate to have two great teams at Gregory Poole and Jarrett Bay to support your product.
Regards, Continue reading “Most Efficient Marine Engine Swap I’ve Seen” »

Most Efficient Marine Engine Swap I’ve Seen
Ferretti Yacht Maintenance: Sea Crest IX
We welcome new vessels all year long at Jarrett Bay for numerous projects such as repairs, refits, or even winter storage.
The Sea Crest IX a 59′ Ferretti, is a repeat customer that came to us for the first time three years ago. The owners took notice of the high quality of repairs at reasonable prices being offered here at Jarrett Bay Boatworks and for the past three winter seasons have made this their stopping point rather than traveling south to Florida. This year we have made repairs to the shower sump pump and light fixtures, we are also in the process of repairing the sound system, and bilge pump system.
Winter Refit Projects
We recently w
elcomed the 94′ Westport M/Y Dauntless at Jarrett Bay for refit work. Our skilled team of craftsmen are busy laying all new teak decking, repainting the exterior and refinishing all interior woodwork to give this amazing yacht a fresh update. Stay tuned for more updates on her progress and others as they arrive this transient season.
February 2009
On Friday, January 30, 2009, a Viking 72′ convertible was moved into the repair to start on our latest full paint job. Among the boats sharing the building is a 50′ custom catamaran. Structural repairs on this boat are underway as a result of damages the vessel sustained in a storm offshore in December. We anticipate this yacht will be back at sea in March. A 1972 Hatteras convertible is also in the process of being modernized with the windshields in the process of being replaced with fiberglass panels; the forward portlights being fiberglassed, faired and painted; and the installation of new engine vents that will give the boat a more contemporary look as well as providing better air flow to the engines. A brand new Hatteras 60′ has arrived for modifications to the hard top as well as custom carpentry work in the enclosed flybridge before the boat is moved to its new home on the Great Lakes this spring.
Thanks to all for your continued support.
Winter at Jarrett Bay
We are continuing on a variety of interesting projects here at Jarrett Bay Boatworks. With the weather a little cooler, we are taking advantage of our 20,000 square foot indoor repair facility completing the re-power of a Cabo 47 and a windshield replacement on a Cabo 40. In the paint prep building we are preparing a 48′ Hatteras motor yacht for a full Alexseal paint job from top to bottom. Other projects currently in the yard include a Nordhaven 63′ in for an electronics upgrade and repairs to the hydraulic steering. Late last week, we launched a 63′ Queenship in for shaft seal replacements. Speaking of launches, our lift crew has been hard at work, with 20 hauls and launches in a 3 day period last week. Good job!
Recent Projects – Spring/Summer 2008
The first quarter of 2008 started with a bang with Jarrett Bay Boatworks completing the repower of four vessels! As the New Year began, we wrapped repowering the 40’ Game Fisher Its Time for Reno, NV owner Johnny Riberio. Its Time originally came by ship from Hawaii to Ft. Lauderdale, and then traveled on one engine to JBBW. We removed a pair of very tired Volvos and installed 540hp 8.3 QSC Cummins that topped out at 34 kts. We also painted the vessel, installed new lexan windows & an EQD Onan genset, and made numerous other cosmetic upgrades.
The 40’ GTD Early Dawn, owned by David Upchurch of Pine Hurst NC, was next in line. We removed another set of Volvos to install a pair of 490hp 8.3 QSC Cummins. Early Dawn topped out at 33-plus kts on her sea trial. The next vessel to complete the repower process was the 57’ Jarrett Bay Negotiator owned by Chuck Vose of Oklahoma City, OK. We removed two-cycle 8-92 Detroits and installed a pair of electronic fuel injected 715hp QSM-11 Cummins. This 59,000 lb. vessel topped out at 30-plus kts and increased her range by 90 miles.

Jarrett Bay Service Facility Project Updates & Certifications
The spring and summer season is off to a record breaking start with many great additions & improvements to our full-service Marine Industrial Park (MIP). Bausch American & IMS’ 30,000 sq. ft. building is complete and already very busy with indoor tower & electronics installs. Powell Brothers Maintenance opened their commercial yard at the MIP, allowing us to segregate the commercial vessel traffic to a separate lot for maintenance – giving us more room to work on & store recreational vessels. The addition of Moores Marine, a major restoration and repairer outfit specializing in Trumpy’s and other “Golden Era” yachts, will bring even more business to our facility.
We completed dredging of the basin recently giving us approximatley 10’ at MLW in our basin. We have recently gained permitting to install an additional dockage space on the ICW, as well as a 150’ floating T-dock to be located parallel to our shoreline on the ICW south side of the basin. These improvements will allow us to have even more dockage for repair and transient vessels. Continue reading “Jarrett Bay Service Facility Project Updates & Certifications” »

Recent Projects – Spring 2005
The winter season set another record for the yard with the number of returning perennial favorites and new customers serviced, all coming to take advantage of our superior service and facilities.
The 57′ Scarborough Due Course from New Jersey came in for varnish, paint and other repairs. Virginia’s 56′ Core Sounder Southern Exposure is in the yard for some TLC. The 53′ Ocean Ali L out of Charleston is in once again for some custom Carolina treatment to the salon windows, and a new DeAngelo Marine exhaust system. Another South Carolina boat, the Fetchin, returned once again for some custom work on their New England style lobster boat.
The 84′ M/Y Sirena, haling from Massachusetts, is in for a complete bottom repair job, painting, and a new exhaust system. The 60′ Hatteras M/Y Family Matters, came in for some highly customized work. We hinged their radar arch to allow it to be lowered and raised by power. We also installed a new bow thruster. As a result, she can now conveniently achieve a suitable vertical clearance to make the voyage to the Great Lakes hassle-free. Continue reading “Recent Projects – Spring 2005″ »
