Zip Builder Honors Mom With His Boat

Zip Builder Honors Mom With His Boat

Posted by Gayle Brantuk on Apr 20th 2012

Rick brought his beautiful Zip to the Gathering of Boatbuilders in Tennessee last year. His boat has so many beautiful features that I knew we had to get a video of it.

Rick has a CNC machine and did a lot of inlay work and custom wood parts that are really beautiful. I was impressed with his windshield brackets and his step plates that are made of curly maple.

This is a fine example of a unique boat, customized exactly as the builder wanted. Imagine what you'd have to pay to have something like this built for you. Rick did it himself for a fraction of what it would cost to have custom-made. And the best part of all, HE built it himself. You should have seen all the people looking at his boat and ohhhing and ahhhing over it.

Talk about pride of craftsmanship--Rick has much to be proud of! For details on the Zip, see the Glen-L website here.
