Grizzly 45  

The Commercial Fishery uses a great number of Aylward vessels for quality, seaworthiness, and precise fit and finish.   Probably the only commercial vessel manufacturer to use Vinyl-ester resins in the skin coat, we create a blister free hull with virtually no print through. This results in a superior gloss finish that will hold its shine much longer than has been seen in the industry to date.

Grizzly hulls have a very deep fore foot.   This makes the boat very comfortable in rough seas.   Head-to-it she is simply one of the best.   Side-to-it she is just like a duck.   Off-before-it she is still amazing... Our boats are known to haul gear in 60 + mph winds in the Bay of Fundy

Note that today’s common 45 foot Cape Island design has evolved from 36 - 40 foot hulls.   Their sterns are wider than their amidships.  The Grizzly on the other hand is the real deal with a real bow and a stern that is 1' narrower than its amidships.  She is therefore a true 50 footer.   Grizzlies can be constructed up to 65' but, most common is our 44'11 version.   Now that the local rules have changed the 49'11"  is becoming the most popular model. These boats are amazing on fuel. The deep forefoot acts as a bulbous bow and reduces the wave action on the hull to give greater efficiency and performance.

With a yacht like finish and unmatched stability, Aylward has raised the bar to give fishermen a boat that not only looks great, but handles even better.  The smooth lines and deep forefoot ensure Grizzlies push easier through the water which results in greater speed, better fuel economy and superior stability.  For example, a 440 hp Cummins with a 4:1 reduction will cruise her 10.5 knots  With a beam of twenty-five feet this is definitely the industry leader.  A typical Grizzly carries 2000 Gallons of fuel and has a fish hold of 150,000 lbs.   Contact us today and discover how we can make your fishing business more lucrative.
