THE ART OF BOAT BUILDING

MasterCraft boats aren’t just built - they’re crafted. Crafted by craftsmen who for 55 years have upheld the MasterCraft commitment to more smiles and less worries. Crafted with progression and innovation in mind. Crafted to last and crafted to perform.



This is MasterCraft HandCrafted.


Meet Leann Patterson

Assembly Sewer, Dashes

 

Leann has worked at MasterCraft for nineteen years and truly embodies the meaning behind being part of the MasterCraft Family. One of the reasons she enjoys coming to work is “because I [Leann] have friends and family here at MasterCraft. It has been a life experience for me and my children.”

As an upholstery sewer, Leann is responsible for going through boat orders, finding the materials she needs from the cutting table, and then assembling them depending on which area of the boat they are needed. After Leann has assembled the upholstery, she delivers it to the assembly area for that specific part, where it is attached to the fiberglass and then eventually to the body of the boat.

Meet Shelly Allen

Decal Application Specialist, Final Finish

Shelly started working for MasterCraft twenty-eight years ago as a way to support her husband and their newborn baby. That job quickly turned into a career—one where she is proud to be a part of that first impression a customer has when they finally lay eyes on their new MasterCraft boat. As a rigger, Shelly is responsible for meticulously placing the MasterCraft decals, warning labels, and transom scratch protection, and then ensuring the boats are shined up and ready to go.

 

Shelly works hand-in-hand with several other departments to make sure each and every boat that leaves the factory is perfected for the customer. When asked what HandCrafted means to her, Shelly says, “Each one of us has our hands on the boat and are so proud of what we do.”
