It’s About Speed And Horsepower

Outlaw Customs Can Rope Your Cow Or Build Your Boat

By Don McDowell

Back in the day, when outlaws were cowboys relegated to horses, the four-legged kind, usually running and hiding out in canyons.  Well it seems that the outlaw cowboys are back, back in the style of the old days: flat bottoms, v-drives, big blocks and lots of raw horse power. 

A practicing partner of the Watson Cattle Company and Mountain Pass Builders, Chris Watson owns Outlaw Customs — a real cowboy in his own right, bucking broncos, roping cows, and building hot custom boats.

In this modern day, we enjoy technology advances in all venues; we are surrounded by boats specialized for this and that and so on.  All the flash and eye appeal of the off-the-shelf play boats are great, but how cool is it when you hear the raw thunder of a 427 cid and watch the water falling from the rooster tails from a v-drive? 

Yeah, there are a few around, but like the cowboy, they are indeed a dying breed.  Chris Watson is bringing ‘em back to life, custom built to your specs. 

How about an 18-foot Sanger with a big block of your choice?  Color scheme and graphics are of your choice, not what is on the show room floor. 

If owning a custom hot boat is your dream or passion, Outlaw Custom will put it on the water.  It’s not always about comfort, music and the amenities; for some of us, it’s about horsepower and speed — stuff you just can’t get from a blow-boat.

You can reach Chris Watson and Outlaw Customs at (928) 369-8331.  You might want to keep a close eye on him, however. He may ride horse, rope your cow, or build a custom house or cabin — as well as an Outlaw Custom!
