As kids, Jared was always busy building and creating. It started with Lego, and before long, those creations turned into bigger and more ambitious projects. Looking back now, it’s incredible to see how those early passions grew into the skill, craftsmanship, and vision that he brings to everything he builds today.

We have watched Jared’s knowledge, talent, and abilities evolve with every boat he has built, and we have been lucky enough to enjoy countless hours and unforgettable memories on the water in each of them. As we raised our families side by side, those boats became part of so many adventures and memories that we will cherish forever.

When Jared decided to purchase Ali-Craft and turn his dream into a reality, we knew we had to become his first official “boat customers.” Getting to build a boat alongside my brother, now as the new owner of Ali-Craft, was an incredible experience and something I will always be grateful for. Now, our family gets to explore and experience places that can only be reached by jet boat—and create even more memories along the way.

I couldn’t be more proud of my brother and the hard work, dedication, passion, and creativity he has poured into making this dream a reality. His passion shines through in every detail and every boat he builds.

And I know that if our dad were here today, he would be absolutely amazed by what Jared has accomplished—and so incredibly proud of the man he has become.
