Spencer Yachts from Wanchese, North Carolina presents its new World wide web showroom. Paul Spencer got his hands in boat building in 1996 when he founded the company with his name in that year. Like other custom sportfish builders from Carolina, Paul Spencer entered boat building from a charter captain career and out of necessity of building his next boat, replacing the getting tired ten year old 55 foot single engine charter vessel build by his father in law Sheldon Midgett in frame and plank wood. Paul's idea was to follow in the footsteps of local Carolina captain Buddy Cannady who build a boat, kept it a year or two and sold it. For doing this Paul mortgaged his home, and build his first shed without electricity and water, and in 1997 launched Spencer Yachts hull.one, the 59 feet sportfish yacht powered by twin 800hp Cat engines originally titled Sizzler, which Paul designed with help from Mike Lohr, and only kept for a Summer. Hull two comes the following year, an order from the family who bought hull one, what will be a two feet bigger and more luxurious fitted sportfish yacht. Up till 2000 Paul will build a sportfish yacht a year, but things will get busy from 2001, when the five boats a year average build schedule starts, making Spencer Yachts as the most busy of the custom cold moulded build sport fish yachts delivering over one hundred builds in under twenty years. Spencer has since 1997 build boats and yachts from a 26ft semi-production centre-console, and custom builds from the twin outboard powered 37ft hull.71 to the 87ft hull.78 in 2012 and the 90ft hull.86 from 2014. Paul Spencer unlike most custom sportfish builders also likes to experiment with propulsion building both jet drives and IPS propulsion custom builds for customers. His first IPS pod boat came in 2007, in the early years of Volvo's inboard propulsion system with the 43 Express hull.43 which was followed by seven other IPS pod hulls including the triple powered 70 Volvo hull.76 launched in 2010. Spencer also entered jet propulsion in 2019 with the 50 Jet hull.104, which was followed by hull.222 63ft sportfish yacht in 2021, with both units reaching fifty knots top speeds. Today Paul runs Spencer Yachts with the help of his children Paul and Cliff.
