OXNARD, CA--(Marketwire - May 4, 2009) - The beauty and luxury of yesteryear's hand-built
classic wooden runabout has been revived with today's debut of American
Beauty Boats' Cabriolet and Gatsby electric boats
(www.AmericanBeautyBoats.com). Blending the legendary sophistication of
the 1940s wooden boats with today's electric, green-marine technology these
unique, handcrafted vessels evoke the nostalgia and glamour of the past
when cruising with family and friends and entertaining clients wasn't
considered an indulgence, but a necessity.
"American Beauty Boats are electrifyingly elegant. When you see them go
through the harbor it's impossible not to stop, watch and admire their
grace," said Eric Hermann, owner of Executive Yachts. "These boats have
qualities that I've never seen on any other vessel."
Crafts from American Beauty Boats are powered by one of the most reliable,
time-proven, quiet-running motors available. The intuitive operation and
single lever control for forward/reverse provides boaters with a carefree
experience. The air-cooled motor is easily maintained, requires no
winterization, and charges fully overnight using the maintenance-free
battery system that delivers hours of enjoyment on a single charge.
The exclusive flat bottom design on all American Beauty Boats models
provides unmatched stability, making them steadier than many docks. The
rudderless design of the Cabriolet and Gatsby provides among the best
maneuverability in their class in both forward and reverse for a smooth
trip while docking or traversing inlets, coves, or marinas. Eco-friendly
"green-marine" technology ensures every vessel meets the growing
requirements at inland lakes and marinas, which are trending away from
traditional gas-powered boats.
"Design, innovation, technology and engineering are the hallmark of every
originally-designed craft from American Beauty Boats. More than just value
for our clients, we believe these boats represent an entire way of life,"
said Jeff Thomas, founder and CEO of American Beauty Boats. "Our boats are
designed in the true spirit of the iconic wooden runabouts with exquisite
detailing, unique wood-like finishes and individually tailored interiors
that radiate and convey an understated elegance and personal style."
Customized Finishes and Interiors
Exquisite hand-detailed wood-like finishes and individually tailored
interiors and exteriors make each Cabriolet and Gatsby a personalized work
of art. Virtually any interior feature can be designed into the runabouts
including wine racks, refrigerators, dining tables, navigation systems,
state-of-the-art entertainment and communications systems, interior and
exterior lighting, top of the line upholstery in unlimited options of
fabrics and colors, and more. Owners can choose the Cabriolet
rear-steering model or the Gatsby front-steering model, soft or hard tops
and a variety of windshield styles.
The result is nothing short of a head-turning splendor that exudes the
style of each American Beauty Boats' owner. Whether a first boat or an
addition to a fleet, these boats are investments that create enjoyable
experiences now and in the decades to come. American Beauty Boats will
produce a limited number of Cabriolets and Gatsbys each year. Orders are
being accepted now for 2009 delivery. American Beauty Boats recommends
ordering early to ensure being part of the select few who will enjoy the
pride of owning one of these rare runabouts. For information, contact
