Pulsifer Boat Builder

I choose to build wooden boats because wood is
naturally strong, yet light
and easily repaired.
It is renewable, it is peaceful–
absorbing not amplifying sound.
It is also a pleasure
to work with.

Having built over one hundred Pulsifer Hamptons, the methods, materials, and equipment are much the same as those I have used for thirty years. Though, with each Hampton I build, I am continually adding details, developing techniques, and making improvements.

I build the Pulsifer Hampton using the traditional strip planking method. These wooden boats are constructed of native white pine, oak, and cedar, hand selected and sawn to my specifications.

As a boat builder, I look forward to each new hull with excitement and anticipation. The process– the entire boat building experience– is as rewarding as the finished product. Building the Pulsifer Hampton, I have the opportunity to get to know each of my customers personally. Together, we share in the pleasure of constructing a boat that is hand crafted to provide a lifetime of enjoyment and service.
