Mast and Mallet

Joe Reid from Mast and Mallet Boatworks dropped by today. Mast and Mallet is a custom boat builder in MD. They build some really cool downeast style boats (I hope I said that right!). His boats are all hand made one at a time. They combine the layout/features of a Maine Lobsterboat with a hull configuration more like a Chesapeake Bay "Deadrise" workboat. Joe is quite the character and a great friend of BOE. He buys all of the electronics for his boats from us, and inevitably stops by about once a week during the final fitout of each boat to ask a question or two about what hooks to what! If you have not checked out a Mast and Mallet boat at one of the local MD boat shows you are missing out.
