Fin stabilizer seals should be renewed every one to two years based on the manufacturers’ recommendations. Internal bearings and mating surfaces will be severely damaged if seals are not properly maintained. Proper maintenance will save you money and time. Contact us today if you have any questions or would like to receive a personalized estimate.

Jeff,
Your folks did a great job and I have been very pleased with all that was done. You personally could not have been more responsive or accommodating to both me and George and we both very much appreciate it. I’ll be looking for Jarrett Bay to help me keep the boat in top condition from now on.
Thanks,
Ralph, Linda Gale, 57′ Ocean

Day 2 of the Isla Mujeres Island Time fishing tournament, we took 2nd place overall, 46 fish released in two days. Day 2, the winds kicked up to 35 knots in the afternoon, good news, we were were only 7 miles off heading home in a following sea. We fished till the end with the fleet, took several waves into the cockpit, the boat performed very well, great fishing platform. Jarrett Bay should be very proud!
Thanks

What is a “broken” shear on your boats and why is it important? Do you have a schematic or drawing with the nomenclature and design features normally found on boats? I make marine cupronickel heat exchangers and I don’t know diddly about boats and my customers are always throwing these terms around.
mahalo,

Good afternoon and thank you for your inquiry. A broken sheer is a term used for boats when the sheer (rail) has a slight curvature on the aft end as compared to a solid straight line leading from the bow. It is where the sheer meets the intermediate bumper. Instead of a long sweeping sheer line from bow to stern, it turns down somewhat abruptly as it nears the cockpit (Click on the image to the right with attention to the broken sheer).
This is mainly just the style we choose for our custom sport fishing boats to give the vessel an exclusive and unique look. A broken sheer is considered by many to be an integral part of the “classic” Carolina look.
If you have any other questions regarding our custom yachts please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you again for your time.

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.

Ms. Forbes,
I wanted to take the time to write because I had dealt with an associate at The Boathouse last week over the telephone. Her name was Caroline. When I received my order, not only were both items that I had ordered gift wrapped (which I had not asked for but was a pleasant surprise!), but also enclosed was a hand written note from her thanking me for my business. Its great in this time to see folks take a personal interest in their customers. I’m sure to stop by the boathouse during my travels delivering boats north and south, and your staff is largely the reason why. Thanks again and best wishes.
