When we say “Do It All” we mean it.
Cutwater Boats are designed to ensure you have every feature you need to approach your adventure with confidence. You’ll be just as comfortable cruising off-grid for weeks at a time as you will fishing with friends or spending a
fun-filled day on the water with your family.
The executive team at Cutwater Boats represents an accumulative total of over 200 years of boating experience. Fluid Motion President, John Livingston has been kicking around fiberglass boats since before he could walk. His father and business partner, Dave Livingston built his first boat when he was 15 years old using plans he found in Popular Mechanics magazine. Not long after building the popular mechanics dinghy, Dave built his first hydroplane which he raced AND skied behind. During those early years, it was a regular occurrence for the neighbors to see Dave hauling wood back from the lumber store on his bike until he was finally old enough to get his driver’s license.
After completing four years of service in the Navy, Dave designed and built what would soon become his first commercially successful vessel, his iconic design bearing the family name, the Livingston dinghy. After several successful years at the helm of Livingston, Dave eventually sold the company to Reinell. Over the years, he has created, modified or consulted for many boat manufacturers including Bayliner, Reinell, Wellcraft, Regal, Larson, and many more.
Dave’s steady hand at the drafting table and experienced eye for design trends has helped propel Cutwater Boats to its current level of success. Dave works tirelessly designing new models for Cutwater and is continuously improving manufacturing techniques and facilities.
A dependable build begins with quality materials. As a proud member of the American Boatbuilding Association, we have access to the highest quality materials in the industry.
When it comes to construction, a fiberglass boat is built from the outside in. The first step to form the hull begins with a high-quality HD gelcoat featuring best in-class UV resistance. We then follow up with a vinyl ester barrier coat which keeps the moisture out and provides industry leading blister protection. Woven roving and continuous glass fibers are then hand-laid to create a rock-solid running surface built handle the toughest marine conditions. To create a hull that is both strong and lightweight, we utilize custom fabricated gimbaled hull molds which allow the resin to be evenly distributed and achieve the perfect glass to resin ratio.
Once the hull is formed, it is permanently bonded with our 100% fiberglass stringer system which becomes the rigid backbone of the boat. Foam is then injected into key areas of the stringer system to reduce noise while underway.
With the stringer bonded to the hull, the cabin can be built upon this solid foundation. Next, our skilled carpenters and technicians install the interior components, electrical systems, plumbing, cabinetry and more to create the fully furnished cabin. Throughout the interior, every Cutwater Boat features high quality marine-grade materials such as Sunbrella fabrics and premium wood finishes.
Our outboard engine boats incorporate an advanced hull design to optimize efficiency, performance, and maneuverability. These features include an innovative combination of a steep deep-V hull for a smooth ride, a keel pad for planing stability, and reversed chines for quick planing and reduced cornering roll. The double-stepped hull increases efficiency and performance and reduces fuel consumption.
Our innovative hull design also incorporates our Laminar Flow Interrupter technology for smooth, positive cornering. Together, these refinements enable the Cutwater hull to deliver an ultra-smooth ride with superior performance.
A radical departure from conventional deep-V hull geometry, the revolutionary Cutwater Hull design incorporates a number of features that together deliver a smooth ride, straight tracking, agile, responsive performance, and maximum fuel economy. With all these advantages, each Cutwater model offers the range to expand your cruise horizons while providing exceptional comfort underway.
Joining our family is a big deal, and that’s why
we offer our Factory Delivery Experience.
Our Factory Delivery Experience includes two distinct days of one-on-one training on your new boat. The first day is spent at the dock with a factory customer service representative, covering each and every system onboard the boat. The second day is spent on the water with our factory delivery captain learning how to operate and handle your new Cutwater Boat. Our job isn’t complete until you’re safely enjoying your new boat on the water.
