Boat Building 
 
Skibird
 
In 2006, we became the builders for Skibird Australia and subsequently re-designed and re-tooled the 19' Extreme model which was showcased at the Sydney International Boat Show at Darling Harbour in 2006. The cockpit space was increased, the overall look of the boat modernized and a curved glass windscreen added. The end result is a new product, which is up to date with the market. These boats are hand built to order using the best quality materials. The attention to detail is what stands these boats apart from production boats in their class.
