Custom Design

Doug Hylan’s expertise with both original designs and the development of plans from existing craft (often historically significant) can bring your ideas to life.  Whether you are dreaming of a new design to your own specifications, or a modification of an existing design, please feel free to email Ellery at ellery@dhylanboats.com or call 207.359.9807 to share what you have in mind!

Some sample custom designs either under construction or in sketch phase include:
