  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Bayliss 
Boatworks of Wanchese, North Carolina, a team who every day applies 
their experience and unique craftsmen touch in creating the perfect 
vessels for their clientele.
  Bayliss Boatworks was established in 2002. The team was able to draw 
up a number of contracts to begin their brand-new shop to create their 
exquisite boats used for fishing, travel and entertainment. Each boat 
is custom made to fit the needs and preferences of each client. These 
boats begin as a jig until it surpasses benchmarks like the ``Whiskey 
Plank,'' hull rollover, and engine install. From there, the boats will 
have their cabins installed, flybridge and mezzanine build-out, 
interior cabinetry construction, paint, sea trial, and lastly, delivery 
to the client. The hard work of the employees can be seen on the water 
around the world. Since its establishment in 2002, Bayliss Boatworks 
have received mentions in magazines such as Marlin, being classified 
among the top builders in the world. It is a prestigious honor to be 
considered among the world's best boat craftsmen.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the 
accomplishments of Bayliss Boatworks as they celebrate 17 years in 
operation. May God bless the hardworking employees of Bayliss 
Boatworks, and I look forward to seeing their excellence for many years 
into the future.
