By 1990 all original founding family members had long since retired from the business. The office and executive staff needed to manage the large operation also retired. The 60,000 sf factory and assets were sold off. The son of founder John Allmand, continued building custom boats in a 15,000 s.f. shop in South Dade. The new boats were designed with fuel economy and value in mind. In 1996 the new design 36' high speed off shore center console was introduced at the Miami Beach Boat Show. The Allmand New Boat model was named the 36 foot Samurai. The model was an instant success, ordered by anglers, and scuba divers wherever there was the need to navigate long distances with 4 to 6 foot seas safely at high speeds. Sold from Nags Head to St Maarten.

In 1998 as a result of the internet global demand exceeded regional demand due to the lack of a dealer network the company enjoyed in the past. Allmand Boats adapted new strategies to accommodate commercial and other retail buyers around the world with diverse design concepts and regional specification requirements. India, Panama, Norway, Uganda, Nigeria, Australia, Kenya and other countries brought about a new business model. Our international customers have a clear idea of what they need. They could not find a manufacturer who will build to their custom designs to meet their regional needs. This became Allmand Boats niche market in the new millennium; building custom and one of a kind boats made for regional needs for international customers. The focus will remain on the international market and the business strategy that goes with it until such a time when investors come forward to finance a large operation in the U.S.which requires, among other things, a dealer network investment strategy, and large office staff in order to effectively compete in the US market.
