Switzer Craft Bullet – Handcrafted Classic Speedboat Replica

The Switzer Craft Bullet is a legendary American speedboat from the 1950s, celebrated for its sleek, torpedo-shaped hull and exceptional performance. Known for its agility, stability, and streamlined design, the Bullet represents the golden era of wooden powerboats and remains a favorite among collectors and racing enthusiasts.

Our workshop meticulously recreates this iconic model using premium materials including Western Red Cedar, Teak, Mahogany, and US -made Hexcel fiberglass with System Three marine spar varnish. Crafted entirely by hand using the traditional plank-on-frame technique, each replica requires several months of dedicated workmanship. Every boat can be fully customized—dimensions, wood selection, finish, cockpit arrangement, upholstery, and even personalized markings—to suit your preferences.

Distinguished by its long, tapered bow, flowing deck lines, and flawless varnished wood finish, the Switzer Craft Bullet exudes elegance and speed. Its low cockpit profile, polished chrome fittings, and precise craftsmanship capture the essence of the original design. The hull’s slender, hydrodynamic form ensures smooth handling and stability, allowing the boat to glide effortlessly through the water. Every curve, deck detail, and handcrafted component honors one of the most admired classic racing boats of mid-century America.
