The official results are in, and we’re proud to announce that the Alliance Fishing Team has won the 2011 North Carolina Governor’s Cup Series aboard the 58′ Gypsy Angler and the Galot 3. The team totaled 3200 points this season, with a lead of 772 points over 2nd place! This marks the 2nd consecutive year that a Jarrett Bay boat has won the Govenor’s Cup – last years champion being the 67′ Waste Knot.
In this 12 part series, Randy Ramsey reflects each month on the most influential people to contribute to Jarrett Bay’s success over the last 25 years.
Soon after we relocated Jarrett Bay Boatworks from the original location in Williston to Marshallberg, NC, our company began expanding faster than we could imagine. We had four boats under construction and started the service and repair yard. With the expansion came a host of problems that had never occurred to me, like book keeping, human resources and inventory management to name a few. After all, our company was founded by a dream to build a better boat, so the business side of the company was an afterthought in the early years. In March of 1993, we decided to hire a person to manage our office.
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…
Here is the second time lapse video compilation of the construction of NASCAR driver Jeff Burton’s 46 custom Jarrett Bay. This segment covers mid February through June 2010 and represents about 45% of our total construction time frame.
For me the day was fantastic even with out a hook up. The Waste Knot is an incredible environment from which to fish. It’s not just the molded teak, fine finishes, and almost 4000 HP. Jarrett Bay has combined muscle and beauty into a single, organic fishing entity.
During the past couple of weeks, the boys down at Jarrett Bay have been busy working hard on all the little, less-than-exciting things that go into making a custom sport-fisher. Things like where to put the fuel and water fills, how to position the fuel tanks and making sure everything is easy to maintain and work on. Since I plan on doing a lot of the service work myself, I want to make sure I can get to everything.
This stage of the game comes with a lot of compromises – if you put this thing here, then you have to make room over there, etc. To be quite honest, most of the ideas are coming from the Jarrett Bay crew, and I just say yes or no; I really have no idea what’s the best call on some of these things, but I trust the guys working on the boat. They give me the pros and cons, but I lean on them pretty heavily.
We just got some veneer samples in, and I’m leaning on some mahogany colors – I like darker-colored woods with a satin finish. I don’t like a glossy look, and I think the satin finish gives the wood an aged look, like it’s been around for some time. Continue reading “Jeff Burton Blog: Details, Details” »
As platinum sponsors of the Big Rock tournament, Jarrett Bay and our staff are highly active in the official schedule of events as well as offering several special offers to “rockers” throughout the week.
Big Rock Pig Pickin’
Jarrett Bay Yacht Sales is co-hosting the Pig Pickin’ on Sunday, June 13th at Jaycee Park.
Join us for great food by McCall’s and tours of the latest sportfish models from Albemarle, Cabo, Hatteras & Jarrett Bay. Factory Representatives from each brand will be on-site to answer any questions.On display will be:
After the Pig Pickin’ event, these vessels will be available for tours and sea trials (with the exception of the Bench Mark, which will be fishing the tournament) back at the Jarrett Bay Marine Park.
I finally indulged myself with a visit to your excellent Marine Industrial Park. I was curious about the building of the basic hull. I was allowed to walk through the building where several hulls are being laid up, and enjoyed it thoroughly. A first class act for a first class boat!
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.
From a small tin shed and a vision to build a better sport fishing boat to a 175 acre marine industrial park providing nearly every conceivable boating need. After 22 years we are as strong as ever, continuing to deliver quality boats and quality service.
Following is a note to the Jarrett Bay Boatworks crew from our President & Founder, Randy Ramsey:
I wanted to take a minute to simply thank each one of you for all that you do for Jarrett Bay and for me personally. Today marks the 22nd anniversary of Jarrett Bay, when a dream of building a boat became reality. With your help we have come a long way from the cold tin shed with 100 watt bulbs for lighting we started in and the help you provided along the way has meant a great deal to me and to our company. I have been blessed to have great customers, vendors, employees and partners, and for that I am grateful.
I can’t wait to see what we can do together over the next 22 years!!!
