Running flat out and grateful for it—that’s the best way to describe the crew at Deep Impact Boats, the Miami builders of custom high-performance outboard-engine-powered center console models. In January the company moved into its new 50,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, which is twice the size as the builder’s old digs. A couple of months before that—while the company was in midst of preparing to make the move—the builder unveiled its first 39-footer at the 2011 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
Throughout the summer, the builder never missed a production beat and kept “hammering away,” in the words of Deep Impact sales and marketing director Tim Gallagher, at building existing products while continuing to develop new models.
