Custom builds recreational fishing and cruising yachts in the 30–40-foot range, with a focus on center console and open-cockpit designs suited to coastal and offshore conditions. The Infusion series represents the builder's core offering: fuel-efficient, seaworthy hulls paired with practical layouts that prioritize fishing capability and comfort for extended time on the water. Custom yachts are known for straightforward engineering, reliable systems, and resale value among buyers seeking proven, no-nonsense vessels rather than luxury statement pieces.

About Custom

Custom has established itself as a builder of functional, well-engineered recreational yachts without the premium pricing or complexity of mega-brand builders. The company focuses on models in the 30–40-foot bracket, a sweet spot for owner-operators and small-group cruising. Rather than chasing trend-driven design, Custom emphasizes hull integrity, fuel economy, and systems reliability—qualities that matter most to buyers planning extended offshore passages or regular fishing trips.

The builder's design philosophy reflects pragmatism: clean lines, efficient propulsion, and layouts that work for both day trips and week-long cruises. Custom yachts are built to be used, not merely displayed, which is reflected in their strong secondary market and loyal owner base. This approach has carved out a distinct niche among buyers who value substance over flash.

What Models Does Custom Make?

Custom's primary offering is the Infusion series, a line of center console and open-cockpit yachts designed for fishing and recreational cruising. The Infusion 34 CC (center console) is the flagship model in active production and represents the builder's core competency: a 34-foot platform with a single or twin-engine configuration, deep freeboard for offshore capability, and a functional cockpit layout that serves both anglers and cruisers.

  • Infusion 34 CC — 34-foot center console; single or twin outboard/inboard options; fuel-efficient hull; open-water seaworthiness; fishing-focused cockpit with live wells and rod storage.

The Infusion line is known for holding value and remaining in service for 15+ years with proper maintenance. Custom yachts for sale typically appeal to buyers stepping up from smaller center consoles or transitioning from larger, more expensive cruising platforms.

How Is a Custom Built?

Custom yachts are constructed using proven fiberglass layup methods and marine-grade resin systems designed for durability in saltwater environments. The Infusion 34 CC features a solid fiberglass hull with a deep V-entry and moderate deadrise, optimized for fuel efficiency and a soft ride in moderate seas. Stringers and internal reinforcement are engineered to handle the stresses of offshore operation without excessive weight.

Systems integration is straightforward: Custom equips vessels with industry-standard engines (Yamaha, Mercury, or Volvo Penta outboards and inboards, depending on configuration), reliable electrical architecture, and accessible mechanical layouts. Fuel tanks are baffled and positioned for optimal weight distribution. The center console design minimizes cabin complexity, reducing potential failure points and making routine maintenance owner-friendly.

Build quality on Custom yachts is consistent across production runs. Gelcoat finish is typically durable, and hardware is marine-grade stainless steel. The builder does not cut corners on structural integrity, which is why Custom yachts remain seaworthy and functional well into their second and third decades of service.

What Does It Cost to Own a Custom?

Custom yachts occupy a mid-market price band: new Infusion 34 CC models typically range from $400,000 to $600,000 depending on engine configuration and options. Used Custom yachts for sale depreciate moderately, with 5–10-year-old examples holding 60–70% of original value—a strong retention rate that reflects owner satisfaction and reliable resale demand.

Service and parts availability is a key ownership advantage. Custom uses common marine engines and systems, so routine maintenance (oil changes, impeller replacement, spark plugs) can be performed at any qualified marine service center. Replacement parts are readily sourced through standard marine suppliers, avoiding the premium pricing and lead times associated with proprietary systems. Fuel economy on the Infusion 34 CC is a major cost advantage: twin outboard or efficient inboard configurations deliver 1.5–2.5 nautical miles per gallon at cruise, significantly lower than comparable cabin cruisers.

Insurance costs are moderate. Custom yachts are not considered high-risk or exotic, and underwriters view them as well-built, owner-operated vessels. Dockage and moorage fees depend on location but are standard for 34-foot yachts in most coastal markets. Haul-out and bottom paint (recommended every 2–3 years) run $3,000–$5,000, in line with the class.

What Should Buyers Look For?

When evaluating a Custom Infusion 34 CC, prioritize hull integrity and engine condition. Inspect the gelcoat for stress cracks around the keel and chines—these indicate hard running or impact damage. Check the bilge for oil residue or water accumulation, which may signal engine seal wear or through-hull leaks. Request full engine service records; well-maintained outboards or inboards should show regular oil changes and impeller replacement.

Examine the center console for corrosion or delamination, particularly around the windscreen frame and hardware attachment points. Saltwater exposure over years can compromise fiberglass-to-metal bonds. Test all through-hulls, seacocks, and raw-water strainers; replacement is inexpensive but indicates maintenance history. Verify that the fuel system has been flushed and that fuel tanks show no signs of internal rust or contamination.

Check the electrical system: battery banks should be recent (within 3–5 years), and wiring should be color-coded and properly secured. Corroded battery terminals or loose connections are red flags suggesting deferred maintenance. Inspect the propeller and shaft for pitting or bent blades; replacement is a significant cost if needed.

Model-year considerations: Infusion 34 CC models from 2015 onward benefit from refined hull designs and improved console ergonomics. Earlier models (2010–2014) are still capable but may have outdated electronics and less efficient engine packages. Verify that any upgrades (GPS, fishfinder, autopilot) are original or professionally installed; aftermarket electronics can introduce wiring issues if not properly integrated.

Ask about the vessel's primary use: a boat used for weekend fishing trips will show less fatigue than one used for charter or commercial purposes. Request a pre-purchase survey from a marine surveyor experienced with center consoles; the $600–$1,000 cost is insurance against hidden structural or mechanical problems.
