Seawolf Project
Building a charter boat service on Lake Ray Hubbard

Steps
• First step was to get my USCG Master Captains license – the course took a total of 10 days and costs $1200.
• Second was to make sure I could get Liability insurance
• Third was to make a deal for docking and pick up of passengers
• Next was to find a boat

Make or Buy
• I found you can buy a 40 ft white fiberglass sailing catamaran that can take 40 passengers in South Florida New for about $650,000. The problem was that it was 25 feet wide and would cost $100,000 to ship to North Texas
• I determined that I could build one for much less and make out wood leaving a natural wood finish.

How much time and Money?
• Cost of Materials $200,000
• Labor $100,000
• Time: July 2006 to April 2008
• Two years of my life
• Survey shows that most boats take out about 2,000 passengers a year.
• The boat comes apart so if it does not work on Lake Ray Hubbard, I can move it.
