Kerri Russell & Bill Wright from John Williams Boat Company

Kerri Russell and Bill Wright talk to us about John Williams Boat Company's boats. The company built fishing boats until the mid 1980's, when John Williams first adapted the very stable, seaworthy hull into a pleasure boat. Today, John Williams Boat Company takes care of over 100 vessels, and is a semi-custom boatbuilder. Every inch of space is well utilized, and Kerri shares that she "is humbled by the level of talent we have in our yard."
