8:12am, September 2, 2010 – Jarrett Bay Boatworks Service Yard – Beaufort, NC:
As of Wednesday evening we had hauled 97 boats in a little over two days. We are on target to run out of stands & complete haul outs this afternoon at 1-2pm
Hurricane Earl is starting its turn to the North/North West this morning. The high pressure ridge over the eastern US is now steering the Hurricane. Let us hope it will take the worst out to sea. We are under a Hurricane Watch presently. We still have the possibility of having some really bad weather. Earl is a CAT 4 Hurricane with 145 MPH winds.
Does anyone remember what Hugo did to SC and even inland as far as Charlotte, NC?
We will have a crew here tonight and will be checking all the stands for every boat in the yard as regularly as the wind allows. The worst problem we normally have in a Hurricane is the wind and rain in unison causes stands to become loosened. That is why we try to check them regularly. Antennas, curtains and any other item that is prone to wind damage should be removed or secured firmly. Outriggers on Sport Fish boats are easily damaged in high winds.
We will try to have staff back into the office Friday afternoon and on the yard to assess damages. We will call you if any major damage occurs. “Major” being anything other than cosmetic issues. We prefer that you come inspect your vessels as soon as safe to do so and roads are passable. Continue reading “Hurricane Earl Update 9/2″ »
In his second visit to Jarrett Bay, NASCAR driver Jeff Burton talks about the progress of his 46′ custom sport fishing boat Tom O’ Connor of the Outer Banks Fishing Show. Jeff & Tom discuss the interior helm station, color choices & the decision making process as a whole:
Tom O’ Connor: Welcome back to Jarrett Bay Boatworks. We’re here to get a progress update on Jeff Burton’s new boat.
Last time we were here, the interior was mocked up. Now, the actual construction materials are being put in. Bear in mind, we’re taking a project that usually takes three years to complete, and we’re squeezing it into a one year time frame.
Jeff, good to see you again man. It’s been a few months since we’ve met up, and… wow…
Tournament Coordinator Carole Willis of the NC Marine Fisheries Division reports official results for the 2010 Carolinas’ Shootout. The 55′ Jarrett Bay, Micabe, released 2 whites and 3 sailfish to capture 3rd place overall.

Eight Boats caught 12 whites, 9 sails and 3 blues in two days of fishing! With the NC boats releasing 6 white marlin, 4 sailfish, and 3 blue marlin; while SC boats released 6 white marlin and 5 sailfish.

The latest NOAA projection is predicting the west side of the possible track to skirt Cape Lookout. This is still a Cat 1 hurricane. There is a 5-10% probability of us receiving Hurricane Force winds. It does appear to have sped up. It is now to arrive somewhere off our coast Thursday afternoon.
This storm is still very unpredictable so we will advise caution. Better safe than sorry. We will be able to haul vessels Monday afternoon if any of you want to get a jump on hauling. Please contact Kendra at 252-728-2690 x232. Kendra will begin receiving calls for appointments at 9am Monday 30 August. 50 and 75 ton lifts will start at 1pm and be scheduled for every 30 minutes. The 200 ton lift is already busy Monday, but call anyway and we will do our best to start some 200 ton lifts if possible. If not, we will start the 200 ton lift at 0730 am Tuesday morning.

The official results are now in, and we’re proud to announce that the 67′ Jarrett Bay, Waste Knot has won the 2010 North Carolina Governor’s Cup Series with catches totalling 2650 points. The Impulse of Morehead City & Islander out of Hatteras, NC finished 2nd and third, respectively.
Several other Jarrett Bay boats highlighted the top portion of the leader board, including Chainlink (7), Rameseas (15), Frequent Flyer (20), Sensation (24) & Sea Striker (26). Terry & Rock Wells on the 61′ Rameseas also had the honor of bringing in the largest dolphin (58.4 lbs.) of the series.
The 43 foot Rybovich, Liberator, first came to Jarrett Bay Boatworks by way of Long Island, New York for an entire top-to-bottom refit and rebirth as the Maradel. This refit started with all new wiring and mechanicals including Cummins QSC540 8.3 liter diesel engines, 11.5 kw Onan Generator set and new fuel and water tanks.
Notable customizations included adding an anchor & rope locker, new fore-deck hatches, cutting in a bridge access hatch & creating an in-deck fish box in the cockpit. In regards to the hull, we added corner hawse pipes, took out all through-hulls, incorporated an engine room central collector drain box, Livos air vents & installed all new shafts & wheels.
The carpentry team set new teak decks, covering boards & built teak cockpit cabinets. The interior was completely rebuilt & Crystal Coast Interiors provided a soft goods package. A full bar and stools were added as well as a new sofa, veneer, whisper wall, counter tops, carpet & wallpaper. All interior varnish was stripped and the oak and ash redone with an elegant satin finish. The exterior teak varnish was stripped to the lumber and expertly refinished. The cockpit was fitted with a fighting chair & rocket launcher from Release Marine. Continue reading “Before & After: A Classic Rybovich Reborn” »
I finally got a bit of a break in the season and snuck away to visit my boat under way at Jarrett Bay. Everything seems to be progressing nicely, and the guys have done a lot of work on the interior. All the walls down below are in place, so it’s really starting to look like something.
During our time up at the yard, my wife and I finalized all the wood and veneers (we went with a nice walnut), how we wanted to lay out the flybridge and mezzanine, and picked the best place and orientation for the ladder. Since we have a nice wide beam on this boat, we opted for a sideways-facing ladder to keep folks from stepping on the mezzanine and for an added bit safety (I know the kids will be flying up and down it before too long). Jarrett Bay also installed these really neat bucket seats up on the bridge so the guests can hang out in comfort without bouncing and sliding around like you would on a bench seat.

Jarrett Bay Boatworks is pleased to share that IMS American Marine Electronics is now onboard to ensure that NASCAR No. 31 icon Jeff Burton receives the latest & greatest that the marine electronics industry has to offer for his 46′ custom sportfish.
The 46’s navigation electronics will be based on Furuno’s rock solid NavNet technology, utilizing black box processors to feed the 15″ KEP glass bridge displays. These will keep the lines clean and provide Jeff with enough room to monitor his radar, sounder, plotter, cameras, Sirius Satellite Weather and even his satellite TV system at both helm stations. Icom VHF radios coupled with Comrod antennas will be installed and are the perfect combination for trouble free communications. To round out the navigation package, a Flir Thermal Camera and ACR Searchlight will be installed to help Jeff navigate in the early morning hours on the way to the fishing grounds.

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.
Long-standing Jarrett Bay construction partner, Bausch American Towers, is set to guarantee that Jeff Burton’s radical custom sportfish build is state of the art from the top down.
The 46′s half tower will feature a super light-weight, yet highly durable, resin-infused molded hard-top that is a key component in providing the exceptional fuel efficiency and performance Jarrett Bay’s are known for. Additional efficiency will be found with the installation of low-voltage (24v) LED spreader lights that emit no heat, burn brighter (5,000 lumens) and are safer to operate.
