Finally! The Snyder boat is being built!

In June of 2008, I put a deposit down for a new custom Snyder Jet Boat. Finally, 15 months later, the build process has begun.

The boat will be a 1866 model. 18 ft long, 66" wide bottom, modified V. This will be a center/forward console boat, like my G3 was. One really important feature of the Snyder is the UHMW poly that is glued and screwed to the entire bottom side of the boat. Not only does this protect the bottom of the boat, but also the really damage prone areas, like where the sides meet the bottom and the lowest part of the transom.

These boats are built by hand and are full-on customs. Tom can/will build anything you want.

My boat will be the first of the "gen 2" reverse chine design, which helps the boat get up on plane and stay on plane, at lower speeds. We are still trying to nail down the motor decision, but it's between a Suzuki 140, E-tec 150 or a Yammy 150 4-stroke.

I promised Tom that I wouldn't post any "build" photo's on the internet. He works hard on these designs and I dont want to give away any of his "secrets", so to speak. I'll post pictures once it is done.
