Using double diagonal ply/veneer planking, there are no rabbets to cut, no steam bending, no caulked seams, and no lofting. If boats of the past had had such technology, they would have been built this way. It's all due to our modern wood-epoxy "cold-molded" planking method that prevents leaking joints and flexing hulls that can detract from performance and longevity. Couple this with the authentic "plumb" stem and careful cockpit/deck detailing and you have a boat with true classic authenticity.īut beyond the authentic styling of our Biscayne 18 & 22 is both a superior boat and one that will cost a fraction of a new replica or restored original. That's a prime feature giving these boats the elegance missing in more "ordinary" runabouts of similar size. They incorporate enough "heft" within the specially-designed structure so you can create that soft "rolled edge" gunnel. Such attractive contours are impossible to build using sheet plywood alone, yet easily reproduced using our carefully detailed building methods.Īlso, notice the gentle reversed sheer profile lines of these designs. That means reverse-curved flaring topsides at the bow blending gracefully aft to a generous tumblehome at the transom. The BISCAYNE 18 & 22 classic mahogany runabout designs capture the look and feel of production runabouts built in the several years either side of 1940, and incorporate similar hull shapes accordingly.
