When you build it better, it performs better .
State-of-the-art engineering and hulls that have been performing for more than 50 years.
Better-performing hulls made using: • State-of-the-art combination of
boat computer assisted design >
® Built using a stronger
and SolidWorks 3-D software.• High-tech CNC cutting equipment so cuts are extremely precise. - Every component fits precisely and lasts longer. >
aluminum alloy: 5052-H36

Why do we use the toughest aluminum?

• We insist on 5052-H36 throughout our boats because we won’t compromise on durability• 5052-H36 is 25% harder than other aluminum used and rigidity for the lifetime of the boat.*• We further reinforce hulls with: by some competitors • Provides uniform strength and a truer hull shape• Provides a better ride, more durability and lasting value - 5052-H36 center keel from stern to mid ship. - 5052-H36 brace-plate from mid-ship to bow.• Boats absorb most pounding at the bow: - Princecraft twin-plates most deep-V hulls from bow to mid-ship.• Go the extra step of double-plating >

• Provide better performance from a smaller engine• Plane faster and stay on plane at slower speeds• Provide better fuel efficiency and easier trailering• Require less maintenance than fiberglass• Can be beached on a rocky shore without chipping or cracking >
