1988, 20 ft. Kavalk

BOAT HISTORY

Kavalk Boats of Vancouver, BC, have been building elegant yacht tenders and sleek runabouts since the 1970s. Known for their combination of modern technology and timeless design, these gentleman’s racers pair durable fiberglass hulls with stunning mahogany decks, creating a look that is both classic and sophisticated.

A long time customer acquired this boat from a family member and brought it to the Boat Shop for a freshening up. After some discussions, we gave the decks a dramatic refresh—stripping them down and applying a deep Goudy roasted stain to bring out the warmth and grain of the wood. The plain beige epoxy seams were replaced with hand-painted lines, adding crisp definition and elegance. We also installed electric actuators for effortless engine cover operation and a silent-choice through-transom exhaust system, enhancing both functionality and performance.

The result is a timelessly elegant runabout, beautifully refreshed and ready to impress on the water.
