Have you ever wondered or wanted to see exactly how a boat is made? To see this fascinating process, BoaterNews visited the Brunswick facility in Knoxville, TN, where Sea Ray has recently been joined by Bayliner Cruisers.

Harry Larsen comes from a family of boat builders, so it is natural for him, following his retirement from Boeing, to build a special boat. About 2000 he fitted hydrofoils to a 24′ Bayliner. That was the easy part, he says. Special talent was required to adapt a laptop computer as an autopilot for roll control. Mechanical and hydraulic devices control pitch and height. This is low altitude aviation, and the boat is a pleasure to fly. To build or understand hydrofoils, check out my latest video: www.youtube.com Ray Vellinga
