Our Story
STORM started as a custom boat manufactured by Crowell Marine Industries back in 1978. That original was made into 1980 until the legendary 206 was developed. At the time, the STORM hull was far ahead of its time. Here we had a hull that was longer than any bass boat made during that time, ran rough water better than any bass boat produced and was faster than the competition with the same 150 hp motors that were becoming popular. Many have forgotten that the 206 still outperforms the production 18 footers with a 150 in every aspect of performance. Then add to that a true one piece build method that made them stronger than any boat made, then and now. This boat was completely customizable and the buyer could sit down with the builder and either have a standard model made or could have any deck configuration imaginable added for optimum usability.
Fast forward to 1997 and the STORM 22 was developed. As many wanted more room and beam, the 22 delivers. Old Stormers agreed, the 22 is HUGE, but huge doesn't mean it doesn't perform. This boat maintains a very similar bottom to the 206 and as such, is like a triathlete. From hole shot, top end, handling and of course rough water, this boat is every bit a STORM. Like all STORMS, it is customizable to whatever a customer desires. Over the 34+ years STORM has been building boats, the company has produced fewer boats than most
manufacturers build in a year. We won't rush a boat and won't compromise on quality or structural integrity. That's why most STORMS built are still being used today. We strive to build a boat that can last far beyond the longevity of all production boats.
If you've had numerous boat brands but just are not satisfied, if you want something that isn't offered in the production boat market, or if you just want to learn what all the talk is about, come to STORM and let us sit down and design your last boat, your favorite boat.
