JaxonCraft Build

Sorry for all the text, pictures start soon We have a BBQ for the boat and when we go out for a few days I originally thought that we would take along one of my myriad of camping stoves. The only thing that we will really need a stove for is the ability to heat and boil water for coffee/tea and to b...

JaxonCraft Build

Why we are building a boat? I have turned 65 and we looked at buying recreational property but I was down that road when I was in my 30' and 40's before my first wife became ill and died. We had a small condo in Whistler every weekend but 7 in 11 years. The drive was not a problem when I was younger...

Re: Jaxoncraft Build BC Canada

The wider longer hull was to the best of my knowledge first built for ReelSlim. I never thought about trailering the boat. I drive a sedan and my wife has a unibody mid size SUV so trailering was never an option. I just agreed with what Robert suggested. We are having a porta potti in the v-birth an...

Re: Jaxoncraft Build BC Canada

May 13, 2021 Robert called me today and told me that the Aluminum shipment was in the shop and they will be organizing it today. The photo below is a 24 foot version of our boat with a pod. Our boats are a foot longer and a bit wider. So I am stuck here because I can't seem to post photos. Any sugge...

Re: Jaxoncraft Build BC Canada

JaxonCraft builds 2-4 boats a year. Customization and personalization of the build is of great value to some people. For me due to my height, higher gunnels, a cabin interior in which i don't bang my head, and a cabin bulkhead moved so that i can sleep stretched out in the v-berth are worth a lot. A...
