Why Taylored Boats

Custom Finish · Hull to Helm

From a bare hull to a boat ready to fish: floor, engine room, wheelhouse, wiring, hydraulics and paint, done in our shop by Peter and his crew.

The Willis Beal Line

Beals Island designer Willis Beal drew these hulls for RP Boats in the 1990s, and they had a name for roominess, speed and seaworthiness. We brought them back in 2018, with his blessing.

Built in Addison by Peter Taylor

A small shop, run by Peter since 2011. He learned the trade at RP Boats and H&H Marine, and he still does his own wiring and hydraulics.

The new Willis Beal mold pulled apart around its plug in the shop — May 15, 2018: the new Willis Beal mold comes off the plug, the stripped-down RP 40 Designer’s Daughter.

The Builder

Built by Peter Taylor

Peter Taylor came to Maine from Banbury, England, in 2002 with no boatbuilding experience — just a willingness to learn. He spent six years at RP Boats, where by the end he was in charge of builds, then worked at H&H Marine before opening his own shop in 2011.

Today the shop in Addison finishes hulls from several Downeast builders, and it’s home to the Willis Beal molds Peter has brought back since 2018.
