If a customer wants canvas on their boat that fits "like a tailored suit," they should come to Boats Inc.'s Canvas Shop. Paul Stiephaudt, a longtime employee with the company, is outstanding in the field of designing and producing custom canvas work. After studying marine diesel mechanics and construction equipment repair at Southeast Tech in Groton, CT Paul became an apprentice at Boats Inc. in June 1992. Paul defines himself as having an artistic bent, in addition to his formal training. He says he is glad he "fell into" canvas work, as it allows him to exercise a certain amount of artistic freedom and employ skills he no doubt inherited from both his grandfathers, one a mechanic, the other a tailor of men's clothing.

He enjoys the customers and takes considerable pride that boaters are willing to take his advice about the best design or materials for their needs. To provide the best service, Paul is always looking for new ideas and ways to further improve the products he offers. Paul's assistant is Jason Domler, and the two of them can provide any canvas item or service for powerboats, from simple repairs to a full customized enclosure.
