After the hull and cabin are joined they are "popped" from the molds. In the picture to the right, the cabin mold has already been removed and a completed boat shell is now being lifted up and out of the hull mold. As you can see the accent stripe is an integral part of the boat. The top deck's non-skid pattern & color are also cast-in.

Sand Shop:

Now the window openings will be cut out, the top glassed on and many smaller details will be glassed into the hull such as battery lockers, and other parts that are to be made integral to the hull.

The interior will now be smoothed and prepped for the sprayed-on Gelcoat finish (two coats). The bottom decks will receive three coats of Gelcoat to ensure that the balsa core is properly sealed.

After all of the fiberglass and Gelcoat work has been completed the hull is moved into ~

Finish shop:

The riggers will now install the windows, hatches, cleats, railings,  fuel systems and other plumbing & hardware.

After the riggers have completed their tasks the wood workers go aboard. Most components are built in advance, but must be modified to fit each boat. The cabinetry is all screwed together and can be easily removed or modified.

Now its time for the electrical systems. Navigation and cabin lights, switch panel and wiring harness, pumps, horn, electric wipers, battery chargers, cigarette lighters,and anything else that has been ordered for this unit is neatly installed..

The final step is to install the seat and berth cushions. All of the upholstery is removable so that you can hose down the interior once in a while.

All the time the boat has been in the "finish shop" a crew has been busy detailing the entire boat, repairing small imperfections and buffing and waxing the Gelcoat finish.

That's it, all done. After the final inspection the boat is made ready for shipment to the dealer.  The dealer will rig the boat with motors and after-market accessories such as electronics and canvas tops and covers.
