    Designed and built at the shop of famed MDI boat builder Robert “Bobby” Rich in 1956, Blue Jacket has been the under current ownership since the early 1990’s and during this time has seen much in the way of proactive care and maintenance along with more major upgrade projects such as doubling of frames, replacement of floors, complete rebuilding from the deck up and most recently repowering.
