In 1988, Paul built his personal sport fishing boat under his company of Mann Boat Works. While continuing to build boats, in 1992 he incorporated his company to Mann Custom Boats, Inc. Since incorporation Mann Custom Boats has developed into a 40,200 square foot facility manufacturing custom sport fishing boats. Paul's experiences fishing and handling different boats helped him formulate his ideas of a superior, sea worthy boat. Coupling this experience with the knowledge gained in the boat building industry makes Paul exceptionally qualified to design and build superior custom boats. Running boats you've built with your own hands, ideas and knowledge brings special insights as to what it takes to build a sea worthy, user friendly sport fisher. What's so special about a Paul Mann Custom Boat? For starters, the combination of time tested techniques married with the latest in high-tech materials, technology and processes. The traditional wood plank on frame construction with plywood overlay provides the core of the boat. Tricel, honeycomb, decolite and foam are just a few of the "newer tricks" that make our boats very light compared to other boats of equal size. But it's the design that allows our boats to perform exceptionally well in all sea conditions, whether a following sea, side-to or head-to sea. And, our boats do not need an exaggerated flair or an exaggerated tumblehome to be a sleek, traditional true Carolina hull.
