The Bosuns Mate 23

Another one of Mark Bowdidge Designs good looking power craft,we can offer these as a CNC cut pack with the rest of the materials,including the epoxies and also International Paints if required.


Approached by Warren Jacobsen, we were asked if we could design a boat of similar nature, only lighter in construction, to the one he was building at that time, a heavy "traditional plank on frame" boat.
With rising fuel costs, could we design a workboat to suit his professional client's needs, i.e. a fisherman's workboat, that would not only suit that market, but would also appeal to the recreational fisherman and coastal explorer market. Overall, our main priority had to a simple open plan design, with the priority being the reduction in fuel consumption without, compromising the strength, durability and safety.

The Bosun's mate 23 evolved from the same seaworthy fishing boat designs used in third world countries, resulting is a strong, yet simple to build, easy driving and a great family day
