(All about us!)
Pictured are Mike, Donna, and Roy.
Freedom Craft opened it's doors March 1st, 2000. For information on how the company came about, please visit our Newspaper Articles page for the story. We are very proud and appreciative of the coverage we received from our local paper The Dixie Count Advocate, and The Gainesville Sun. We are also to have an article published in AIRBOAT WORLD soon, so keep a look out for it.
Freedom Craft is owned and operated by Roy Skinner, who bought out Kennedy Hulls and purchased the rights to their designs in order to open his own Airboat manufacturing company. Kennedy Hulls are thought by many to be the best hulls available.
We, at Freedom Craft, are very excited and proud of the work we are doing. We are eager to show our facility, designs, and work to everyone. Please feel free to come in for a look around and see for yourself why we have such satisfied customers.
One of the most important reasons we have such satisfied customers are our employees. The employees have over 20 years experience in all phases of boat building, repair, design, rigging, gel coat, painting, custom work, and more.
The employees include:
Roy and Dorothy Skinner, Proud Owners! Roy has been around airboats all of his life. Since the accident that left him in a wheelchair, Roy has come to appreciate a new freedom with airboats. His personal airboat was custom made so that he could use his wheel chair and use all hand controls.
Mike Pearce, a native Floridian, has been working with boats his entire life. He started working with fiberglass in 1982, and since that time has perfected his skill. He is able to design a boat that will suit a customers needs, as well as be a work of art. He has been with Freedom Craft since the beginning.
Donna Dingman, also a native Floridian, has been working with Mike since 1997. She is very skilled and talented in fiberglass work. Donna has also been part of the Freedom Craft team since the beginning.
Matt Wallace has recently joined the team. He is an apprentice, and very eager to learn a new trade.
