Welcome to the ALLWEATHERBOATS.COM web site!
The purpose of this site
is to serve as a forum for Allweather boat owners. The site also
serves as a source for the history of the Allweather 8 Meter (AW8M) built by the late Homer Hughes and his Allweather
Boats company of Ferndale, Washington. A total of 31 AW8M's were built from 1980 to 1994. Please see all of our pages. They are accessible from the listings along the top of each
page.
Thank you for your interest.
