Mowdy Boats are back in production. After 30 years of building Mowdy Boats, Hal Mowdy has turned over the reins of his operations to Frank and Doreen Crapitto. They purchased the entire production facility and with Robbie Gregory as general manager have moved into their new EPA approved production facility at 735 Hwy 35N in Port Lavaca.

Frank Crapitto graduated from Texas A&M and lives in Houston where he and Doreen currently own two upscale restaurants, Crapitto’s Cucina Italiana and Frank’s Chop House. They also have a home in Port O’Connor and have fished the area for over 30 years. Frank serves on the Board of the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo and is a current Vice President of the Houston Restaurant Association.

Robbie Gregory, who will be the general manager of the facility, lives in Port Lavaca and has been a long time fishing guide and home builder in the Coastal area.

The four boat builders who will be crafting the boats have a total of over 50 years building boats and were trained indirectly by Mr. Mowdy. They all reside in Seadrift and Mr. Mowdy has given his seal of approval on the quality that they put into each boat.

Currently building the 25-C, 22-V, and the 16-T, Mowdy Boats is basically in full production. All are welcome to come by the facility and see the boats being crafted and the quality of the production that is put into each boat. Feel free to call 361-553-6939 or Robbie at 361-220-1850, or Frank at 936-581-0298.
