It all started for Fun

 The desire to build boats has been a part of John Coen's life since his earliest memories. "I designed and built my first boat for $40 with my grandfather when I was 12-years old, an 8-foot flat-bottom pram made of plywood that we rigged with a 5 hp Sea King motor," Coen recalled. But his real inspiration came when he got his first taste of racing back in the mid 1960's with a boat that he built with his stepfather. "The thrill of building a winning race boat was the challenge that fueled my desire to turn my skill into a trade, and my ultimate goal was to build a quality, affordable boat aimed at the offshore performance, fishing and pleasure boat markets." By the fall of 1975, Coen was producing and racing the boat which would make him a legend, the 24-foot Superboat. 

John’s history speaks for itself. Born into successfull family business he started at a young age learning the art of boat building and design. His love for the water always keep him busy. 

After watching his father success in boat racing John was ready to race. Learning his craft water testing boats on the Great South Bay. 

John has won several World Championship and raced all over the country. One of the greatest highlight s of his career was being inducted In 2014 to APPA Hall of Champions as a World Class Driver. Today John continues to push the limits of speed on the water in Offshore racing.
