From the March 2008 issue of Southern Boating magazine:
America is the birthplace of the tournament sportfisherman-the boat, as well as the angler. Nowhere else on earth can you find so many fine brands of hard-charging, wave-piercing, offshore fishing machines. But even among these championship contenders, there is a heavyweight class; a small group of boats that draw envious stares on the highstakes tournament circuit-the custom-built, wooden sportfish. In a relatively short period of time, Jarrett Bay Boatworks of Beaufort, North Carolina, a yard founded by former professional charter boat captains in 1986, has vaulted itself into this elite circle. As proof, we offer the yard’s most recent launch, the screaming orange Jarrett Bay 63 Southern Exposure.
