All Points Boats Selected as Pilot Validation Partner for Caudwell Marine AX300 Diesel
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA | SEPTEMBER 30, 2026
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — All Points Boats (APB), a seasoned Fort Lauderdale boatbuilder, marine-service provider and vessel-integration company, today announced that it has been selected as a pilot validation partner for Caudwell Marine’s AX300 Diesel outboard.
APB’s role in the program is focused on controlled product validation, vessel integration, technical evaluation and the collection of real-world operating experience. Working alongside Caudwell Marine, APB will contribute practical feedback on installation and operation as part of the AX300 Diesel validation process.
“We are extremely excited to have APB participating in this next stage of the AX300 Diesel program,” said Nate Goodwin, President of All Points Boats. “We are fully aligned with Caudwell Marine’s disciplined approach to testing and validation. Our role is to evaluate the product in real operating conditions and share practical feedback from our vessel-integration and boatbuilding experience.”
APB has developed a Fort Lauderdale-based pilot validation plan built around a new custom Conch 30 platform specifically designed for the AX300 Diesel. As part of that effort, APB plans to host an in-person breakfast viewing of the engines and an early preview of the custom Conch 30 platform for invited customers, partners and industry stakeholders, with a focus on the pilot validation work.
APB will also join Caudwell Marine at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans to discuss its participation in the pilot validation program and the evaluation of the AX300 Diesel in professional, commercial and high-duty-cycle marine applications.
Peter Ordway, Commercial Director at Caudwell Marine, said: “APB brings valuable boatbuilding and vessel-integration experience to our pilot validation program. Working with partners who understand the demands placed on professional vessels helps us evaluate the AX300 Diesel in the conditions it is designed for. Their practical feedback will make an important contribution to our wider global validation work.”
APB brings experience in vessel integration, engineering, fabrication, custom boatbuilding and marine service to the program. Its work with purpose-built platforms, specialized commercial craft and mission-specific vessels provides a practical foundation for evaluating propulsion systems against defined operating requirements.
APB is currently in production on a second craft, “RedundanSEA 2.0,” in conjunction with Gibbs & Cox, further demonstrating the company’s ability to support advanced build programs with dual-mission capability, targeted-use requirements and application-specific design objectives.
Engineered for endurance, the AX300 Diesel from Caudwell Marine is built for professional operators who depend on their vessels day after day. Its 290hp, 3.0-liter V6 turbocharged diesel engine combines high torque and fuel efficiency with heavy-duty engineering for demanding commercial use. The patented AXIS Drive steering system and contra-rotating propellers provide precise control and confident handling when it matters most.
By combining Caudwell Marine’s engineering with APB’s vessel-integration, fabrication and marine-service experience, the pilot program will contribute to a deeper understanding of how the AX300 Diesel performs as part of a complete vessel. The focus is on practical evaluation, documented operating experience and technical feedback to Caudwell Marine.
