Most recent update: July 6, 2021.
ABD Boats was formed in 1987 by Alan Dawson and Burton Drody. They specialize in high-performance aluminum vessels. The yard is located on the west side of the TCH Bridge, where Bel-Aire Shipyard used to be. See it from the air on Google here. ABD's hull numbering system starts with hull 303: this is a continuation of Bel-Aire's system, which ended with hull 302.
