Made in the USA: Stuart Knockabout
Where and Why
We are proud to be a small business that supports other local businesses. Not only is the Stuart Knockabout built in the USA but nearly every part of her is too, and most can be traced to within 100 miles.
We buy local, not only because it is nice doing business with neighbors but also because we seek the same level of quality in the parts that we strive for in the whole. Proximity allows us to work with our suppliers to build a product of quality and consistency.
Better pieces make a better boat and the Stuart Knockabout is an elegant example of that.
