  Mr. WITTMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of John 
Bayliss of Bayliss Boatworks from Wanchese, North Carolina. John is the 
leader of a team who every day applies their experience and unique 
craftsmen touch in creating perfectly crafted vessels for their unique 
clientele.
  Bayliss Boatworks was established in 2002. With a fishing background, 
self-motivated John, and his team built the company from the ground up. 
John and friends were able to draw up a number of contacts from the 
sportfishing community to begin their brand-new shop to create their 
exquisite boats used for fishing, travel and entertainment. John turned 
his passion into a profession. Since the establishment of the company, 
Bayliss Boatworks has risen to become one of the premier boat craftsmen 
in the world. I am fortunate to have known John for many years and be 
witness to the dedication he has for his family, colleagues, and 
Bayliss Boatworks.
  Madam Speaker, I ask you to join me in recognizing the 
accomplishments of John Bayliss as he and Bayliss Boatworks celebrate 
17 years in operation. May God bless John and the operations of the 
Bayliss Boatworks, and I look forward to seeing their excellence for 
many years into the future.
