Indoor Storage
We've already had several requests for winter work as well as storage.  Last winter season we were over capacity resulting in some of the boats being stored in the shop.  We are asking that if you would like to store with us to please let us know!

Steady Progress!

Patriot II hull almost complete!

Hard top, windshield, & top deck all ready to be scribed together

New Patriot II

The Patriot II incorporates a change to the hull - we've put a plug in the mold (shown below) to create a shallow tunnel.  This will allow for a flatter shaft angle thereby giving it the ability to navigate shallower waters.  The patriot currently draws 34", we're approximating the Patriot II to draw 24".  A difference that matters in many of the Bay's shallower waters.

As One Boat Leaves, Another Boat Comes In!

If you've been following Jeff and Dorie, you probably know that they're back in Maryland as is Dorie Leigh.  Pete picked Dorie Leigh, the Patriot 29', up from Plattsburgh, NY on Wednesday to bring her to Denton before cleaning her up and delivering her back to her home in St. Michaels on Friday.  They completely enjoyed their trip through Lake Champlain which as they noted several times is far from what they're used to in the Chesapeake Bay.

If you haven't been following Jeff & Dorie, you'll want to check out the cruise they took in their 29' this summer here.

We sold another one of our brokerage boats last week - Cove Cruiser's new home is in Annapolis.  The new owner is a good friend of the previous owner and couldn't wait to take her out!

Where's Dorie Leigh?

On Sunday they went to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum which they said was "first rate" with "extensive exhibits explaining the naval battles from both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812".  

Later that night they had dinner just two tables away from former Governor George Patacki!  They spent 2 nights in an Inn in Essex, NY during the Holiday for Independence Day which gave them great seats for the parade.  

They've seen much deeper waters than they would here on the Chesapeake Bay along with a complete change in weather patterns and change in scenery.

New Patriot 29'

You Read that Right!  We've got a new Custom Patriot 29 on the schedule to start as soon as we can get the materials in the shop!  Several updates/improvements are planned already and we're aiming to have the New and Improvedat the Powerboat Show in Annapolis this October!

Brides & Boats

Below you'll see some pictures from a wedding that took place last fall.  Pete had the Honor of delivering the Bride to her wedding in style on that warm day aboard one of our Patriot 29's.

Bride aboard Patriot 29'

The bride and groom spent their first moments as a married couple aboard the MathewsBros Patriot 29' and enjoyed an afternoon ride along the Choptank River.

Just Married!

Flora B



 We are pleased to announce that one of our boats now has a new home in Annapolis, MD.  Originally finished in 2003, this hardtop version of our Patriot 29 was named JWB and stayed here on the Eastern Shore.  As you can see, now named Flora B, she is owned by a couple with a young daughter for whom the boat was named.  They spent the blustery day cruising down the Choptank River and made a stop in Tilghman Island before heading across the Bay to Annapolis that Evening.
