Carlson boats use the latest techniques to produce the Carlson Boatworks 25 – delivery 2008 – with classical American or Italian wood runabout looks achieved with modern coatings and adhesives to ensure low maintenance, impermeability to water combined with stunning exterior mahogany rich tones visible through a smooth crystal clear layered acrylic urethane finish.

Burma teak hand-laid flooring completes the classic look while marine grade leather offers luxurious upholstery in water resistant, UV protected quality.

3D architectural modelling software was used to visualize the boat before final design approval. An in-house computer numerically controlled (CNC) cutting machine precisely – to thousandths of an inch – produces each digitally designed piece of the CB 25’s structure which are fitted together exactly.

An efficient Douglas fir wood skeleton eliminates hard spots in the hull of Okoume marine plywood skin and the design spreads wave impact energy out across boat thus reducing jolts and bounces and contributing to cultured ride found only in a wooden boat.

Using a ski boat design of the weight of the engine closer to the longitudinal center of gravity reduces wallowing or pitching motions in head wave conditions.

An ultra reliable, patented fuel return-less, fuel injected Crusader 425HP 8.1L engine through a seamless ZF 63V-drive transmission powers the CNC machined four blade propeller located in the tunnel portion of the hull and forward of the transom to protect swimmers.

Steering is quick, accurate and efficient through a hydraulic steering system and because propulsion and steering are separate rather than a combined stern drive system.

A easy to follow electrical layout enables every electrical system is controlled through one central circuit breaker panel. A twin sealed battery arrangement isolates the starting system battery from the other electrical needs but turning a switch will combine both batteries ensuring your startup, get-home capability.
