| If you love beautiful sleek wooden boats, you will need to see the work of Van Dam Wood Craft in Boyne City Michigan. In 1998 Van Dam Wood Craft completed construction of the Michael Peters designed 31 foot mahogany Alpha Z. One of the finest wooden powerboats ever designed and built, from the hand selected Honduras mahogany skin to the single-piece hand carved mahogany dashboard, Van Dam and his crew described this boat as a "once in a lifetime" project. Van Dam also offers complete in house yacht design utilizing three-dimensional solid modeling and drawing upon an extensive library of classic hull forms from the 20's and 30's when a client requests that a new design reflects period correct styling. Shown below is the 33'-5" 70+ MPH Impshi II custom built by MRD Sales in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. Impshi II is representative of the distinctive and finely crafted wood boats Van Dam has been designing and building since 1977. | |
