Have you heard of this flats boat? "Palmer Johnson"

[sar3195]

I seen a small flats boat that was 15 feet in length that looked great. The boat is a 2004 Palmer Johnson. I never heard of this make flats boat. Has anyone heard of this boat and where could I find out more information about it. Where is the company located?

Wisconsin. I've only heard of them making mega-yachts.

As mentioned, Palmer Johnson is a boat facility in Wisconsin, located at Sturgeon Bay. We had a 48' two-masted yawl serviced and stored there in the off-season. As far as I knew, they made larger yachts and some sail boats. Never saw a flats boat.

BTW, I haven't been to Palmer Johnson's in about 8 years. I heard that the company was sold (or perhaps part of it) some years back and they may be focusing on a different market and producing a different type of boat.

Palmer-Johnson builds large yachts in Stuergeon Bay, Wisconson. They used to have a service yard here in Savannah (actually the yard was in Thunderbolt) GA. THAT division went bankrupt. But the Wisconson yard is still there.

Now you may have located a flats boat that was a tender (I.E.- water toy) on a Palmer Johnson yacht. Someone painted the name on it. 'Tain't a PJ flats boat that I am aware of.
