Proud new owner and NASCAR #31 driver Jeff Burton hosted a thank you party at Jarrett Bay’s Marine Park in Beaufort after his 46’ sportfish returned from her debut at the Miami Show in early March. During a collective effort to deliver a two-year custom sportfish project in less than a year, nearly 200 people touched this project, many working some of the longest days of their lives from start to finish. However as the 46’ sat as the backdrop for the thank you party and Jeff personally thanked every guest in attendance, it was a dream realized for many more than just Jeff.
Jeff told the crowd of more than one hundred Jarrett Bay Marine Park associates, “You can look at the boat and see that you guys care about what you do. Jarrett Bay was the obvious choice, and the boat turned out just awesome.”

The Jeff Burton Blog presented by Marlin Magazine:
With the construction of my new Jarrett Bay 46 now completed for the most part, it’s all in their competent hands coming down to the finish details. I’ve done all my work, all the decisions have been made, and the boys at Jarrett Bay are just left with getting her dialed in for her unveiling at the Miami Boat Show. Bausch American & IMS American finished installation of the tower, top and all of our electronics last week, and her Victory Blue Alexseal paint looks great. All of this amazing work came together as planned, and she left Jarrett Bay on February 7 – Miami Show bound.

This is the third time lapse video update of the construction of NASCAR driver Jeff Burton’s 46 custom Jarrett Bay. This segment covers mid February through the end of September, 2010.
From the Jeff Burton 46′ Jarrett Bay Project presented by Marlin Magazine:
Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve been over to the shop to actually lay my hands on my new Jarrett Bay, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen it! With today’s technology, we’ve been able to make a lot of decisions from pictures and video. The time lapse camera has also helps us follow the progress as well.
The guys building the boat are real good about calling and giving me options on how to address each custom decision, and after looking at a couple of pictures in an email, I can get a better idea of what I’m actually deciding on!

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…

From the Jeff Burton 46′ Jarrett Bay Project presented by Marlin Magazine:
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.

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.
