Burger Boat Company announced the start of construction on Hull 510, a custom 103'-06" (31.55m) full displacement steel and aluminum Explorer Motor Yacht.
 
The Owner and Designer, Luiz De Basto of Miami, Florida, USA, recently visited the shipyard in Manitowoc, Wisconsin to formally kickoff construction with an "Owner's First Weld" which positions a commemorative plaque aboard the yacht.  Launch is scheduled for the spring of 2017 with delivery shortly thereafter.    
                                  
The vessel's modern exterior design and contemporary interior décor were developed by the award winning designer Luiz de Basto of Miami, Florida USA. De Basto, working closely with the owner, created a stylish, ocean going, long range explorer yacht for cruising and fishing the world's sportfishing hot spots.
