Maybe so but there's only lunatic customers from now on. The generation who bought these things have ALL gone and now this stuff must be sold to absolute lunatics. Realise you're surrounded by jackass scum and that's who's going to get these boats. The gentlemen don't exist any more.
Wow they are works of art. Beautiful boats with the quality reflecting the minimum of 3000 hours to build one. You only live once, there will be no regrets with investing and enjoying one of these 😎👍
Not often do you have the ability to express yourself with the gracefulness of a piece of true individual ART as you skip across the water, this is a once in a lifetime chance to accomplish those desires... I was lucky enough for a days pleasure aboard a CLAIRON of which a friend invited me out on a brisk spring early morning till the mid afternoon stopping only for lunch on a quaint Tennessee River Docking Pier Restaurant... An encounter with a day never to forget, especially when he asked how'd I like to take her back home for us... I've owned and piloted many a different boat from a Jon boat, to a 33' cigar power boat, and river 48" X 14' double deck house boats... This ones chairs upon the back of my neck and arms raised by the swanning sweetness of the boat freely giving itself to my total control... My wife's remark from the smirking grin and kid eyes look was priceless, yes I know you want one don't you ??? I do and I'm looking into purchasing one now....
They certainly are beautiful. How many of us have experienced putting 9-12 coats of varnish on a wooden object that size? I did it on only the foredeck of a 17 footer, and I never want to do it again.
Oh, and who's that for? The generation who's too old and can't save themselves or the deprived generations?? No, you're delusional if you think generation baby Boomers is going to live forever. You've made a lunatic type of comment.
My guess, at 3000 hours build time, at $100 per hour or more comes to $300,000 for labor alone. You can easily double that for material and hardware, thus $600,000 minimum, up to $1 million depending on optional features. And I think I am being VERY conservative. For my money, I'd prefer a vintage (20 t0 40 years old) motor yacht in the 40' to 50' range in excellent condition that can be had for anywhere from $500,000 to $1,000,000.
These boats look like they would be a joy to own and operate. The smooth, quiet performance and low maintenance requirements are definitely appealing. Do you have any experience with wooden boats? If so, how does your impression of Clarion boats compare to other brands?
The powertrain is modern Mercruiser, either V6 or V8 depending on boat model. All structural hull components are coated in epoxy; the boat won't leak or rot. If you hit a sharp object such as a rock, a punctured hull can be repaired quite easily. The hull has a protective layer of fiberglass from the waterline down. The varnish finish is durable; keep the boat under cover out of the sun when it's not being used. Refinish every 5 to 10 years at professional cost of approx $11K for a 20 ft Clarion.
@@paulcrammond7048 puncture the hull and you are screwed because the wood is encapsulated, but if you poke a hole in it and the wood gets wet, it will never dry out, and the boat will begin to rot from the inside out with no easy way to stop it. yes, you can patch it, but the clock is running.....
@@marzsit9833 Actually, there are methods to properly repair these cold-molded hull designs, that eliminate further hull damage. A Clarion hull was pierced by a rock. We immediately repaired the hull damage, and the boat is still running bone dry over 20 years later!

Hi Ray; Our Twenty runabout as shown is $285,000 CDN, which is approx $220,000 US. We currently have 2 Twenty's available. Both have the Mercruiser 250 HP V-6 engine. A customized boat takes 18 months to build. Thanks. Paul
The generation you're now selling to is generation X or Y. You need to realise the baby boomer generation have all gotten TOO OLD for boats. Generation X has been decimated over multiple decades. So, you're fast running out of customers. You need to stop ✋️ and rethink what you're doing.
this video is bullshit. these people DO NOT BUILD BOATS. the create incredibly beautiful works of floating art that you can drive. if i ever win the lotto.....
What a dream, modern technology with timeless design
These boats are gorgeous
Truly works of art! Right up there with vintage Chriscraft and Rivas, without the maintenance!

Absolutely stunning... I wish I could afford this kind of quality. Congratulations
Nice boats. I had the honor of working for Hugh Saint for a year building similar boats.

As beautiful as the originals, and dependable. Absolutely gorgeous! Damned impressive!
Stunning. Wish you all the best.
Pure modern day “Class”!

Beautiful boats and excellent presentation.
As a ship wright I’m in love with wooden hulls.😊
Such a work of art.
Luxurious project.....
These aren't boats. These are time machines. Taking you back to before fibreglass.
This is gorgeous stuff.
Beautiful!
Love it!

Amazing!
Elegance on the water, cruising in style! THIS is what it was meant to be.

Wow she very nice boat.
great job
very loveley Boats.
Greetings from LOB
They placed the bar high back when they took time to build
Elegance with their hands.
I want one of these. I'd ask how much they cost, but that would disillusion me and I need to hold on to the hope of owning one.

Look up “wooden motor boats for sale” I see them for as low as 10k it may not be super fancy but it’ll still look classy
I see one Clarion wooden boat just sold in 2023 for $107,925 USD

Are you able to use these boats in the ocean
My dream
Love it's
This might be a stupid question but can they be used in salt water?
What is the maintenance schedule of a Clarion? How bad is it if you damage the hull? Is it possible to have some sort of reinforcement under the hull?

220k for a work of art that does more than hang on a wall, i'd call that a great investment!
