ABD Boats

ABD Boats, North Vancouver BC

ABD Boats was formed in 1987 by Alan Dawson and Burton Drody. They specialize in high-performance aluminum vessels: visit them at www.abdboats.com. The yard is located on the west side of the TCH Bridge, where Bel-Aire Shipyard used to be: see it from the air on Google here. ABD's hull numbering system starts with hull 303: this is a continuation of Bel-Aire's system, which ended with hull 302. Comments or queries, please email info@navalmarinearchive.com.
