Beginning with the introduction of the 32’ Illusion in 1991, Envision Boats has focused on quality and innovation. The Illusion, with a newly designed hull and deck by Mr. Bill Felt, President of Envision Boats and Derick Espeut, naval architect, was designed to offer a ride and amenities unique to the sport boat market. When developing this new brand, Mr. Felt brought with him years of experience in the boating industry. He and his wife, Gen, had been the founders and owners of Mach 1 Boats and had also worked for Sea Star Boats. Mr. Chick Powell, also of Mach 1 Boats, joined to form the partnership on the Envision line. Together they set out to create a boat brand built on quality, ride, and performance.
   
    After the introduction of the 32’ Illusion, Envision began developing other sizes and features which included a 26’, 29’, and additional 32’ models. All Envision boats were designed to deliver a smooth ride and solid performance. These attributes were further defined with the introduction in 1993 of the 29’ Combo, a bow rider with a mid cuddy cabin. As a result of their continued efforts to improve the selection available in the industry and as a testament to their innovation of the brand, Mrs. Genevieve Felt was awarded the Betty Cook Memorial Lifetime Achievement award by the International Women in Boating and Boating Magazine
in 1996.

    In 1996 the company expanded by adding Thomas Prince as a partner. Work began to develop a new 36’ model which would feature a larger seating area than previously offered on any sport boat available. This developmental work grew to become the 36’ Legacy, named as tribute to Bill Felt and his efforts in developing the company after his passing
in 1997.

    Envision has continued to grow the brand and the boats offered. The owners of Envision have remained determined to introduce boats which appeal to the boater’s sense of performance, smooth ride, comfort, and family. The Envision line has introduced 14 models which can accommodate friends and family and still offer superior performance. In 2002, Envision introduced the 36’ Legacy ESP, which is the largest bow rider with mid cuddy cabin built in America. This new model continues the tradition of offering a sport boat which features attributes appealing to all members of the family.

    The history of Envision Boats is rich in developing innovative products which boaters enjoy. Bow riders with mid cuddy cabins since 1993, circular settee cabin seating since 1991, Unique cleats incorporated in the hand rails since 1991, all hand-laid hulls and decks since 1991, wraparound cockpit seating on a performance hull since 1998, to name a few. With over 60 years of combined boating knowledge and training, Envision continues to expand its brand with innovative boats that make boating a pleasure.
