Boat built by famous area boatmaker15 viewsIn their brilliance and after years of this boatmaker making the best boats in the area, OSHA required him to replace his slatted wood floor with a cement floor to qualify for Workmen's Comp. If you know the tide in the outer banks, it goes up and down and tends to floood things. The slatted floor was perfect for allowing it to go through without damage. The boatmaker closed the business rather than do something stupid.
