Craig Blackwell started building boats at the age of sixteen in Bay City, Michigan. He served a five year apprenticeship with the Gougeon Brothers (developers of West System Resin), where he learned the fundamentals of lightweight, strong wood and composite construction. He moved to Florida and worked for Monterey Marine in their early days where he continued to learn the art of jig building. From there he moved to North Carolina where he resides today. Upon arriving in North Carolina, Craig went to work for Buddy Davis at Davis Boatworks and assisted him in changing from a frame style to a jig boat. He then helped build Davis's first plugs and molds for the 47's and 60's. 
In 1986 Craig went into business for himself and has built over sixty sportfishing boats ranging from 28' - 72', from the very simple charter boat to very elaborate yacht.
"SOUTHERLY" was built to order by he current and original owner to the highest standards. She boasts the Carolina flare, beautiful sheer, and tumblehome you would expect on a premier Carolina Custom! An awesome performer, fast, smooth, dry and nimble. 
After many enjoyable seasons of light use, she is offered for sale by her first and only proud owner.
