mv Waterfall II mv Waterfall The Waterfall II and the Waterfall are both built on 50 foot surplus navy utility boat hulls. The Waterfall II was built in 1995 by Willard Marine in Anaheim, California and the Waterfall was built in 1965 by Harbor Boats in Willmington, California. We purchased both the hulls out of the Boats and Harbors paper. We purchased the Waterfall II in 2007 near Tuscaloosa, Alabama and moved it to a yard in Demopolis, Alabama to finish it off as a trawler. At the time we lived in Alaska and would come down to Alabama for the winter and work on the boat. We started in 2009 and launched in 2017. We purchased the Waterfall in 1993 near Long Beach, California and had it trucked to Anacortes, Washington. Once Tom had the cabin on we moved the boat to Birch Bay Village where we lived at the time and finished it off. It only took a year to complete it. Why the name Waterfall? My wife and I met at the Waterfall Resort near Ketchikan, Alaska. Both boats are built on '50 foot surplus navy utility boat hulls'

I hope friends and family, and others who may be interested, enjoy watching the building progress of the Waterfall II. The Waterfall II is number four project boat; but, number one for a pleasure boat. Our previous three: Fantasia, Saami, and Waterfall were build primarily for commercial trolling. (click here to check out photos) Like the first Waterfall, the hull for the Waterfall II is a 50-foot surplus navy utility boat. The first three boats I had it easy, I started with the hull, deck and cabin. The Waterfall II has challenged me to design and build a cabin that is aesthetically pleasing. And so far, it is turning out great! When I built my first boat there was no one to give me much advice (I was doing it in the desert of eastern Washington). The books I bought were not real helpful but I muddled through it and made some mistakes. Of course, at the time there was no internet that I knew of. I do have an 'as built' CD available that includes photos of the details of the construction of the Waterfall II. I am not saying I am an expert, but this is the way I am doing it based on my experiences. There is still a lot of head scratching and some mistakes. It is great to hear from others working on or interested in similiar projects, thanks for all the emails. mv Waterfall HomePage Alaska 2018
