| "Decades of experience go into each new design" |
| Many hours are spent in developing our line of boats and hardware. Planning, designing and pattern making are just a few of the stages involved in developing a successful and competitive race boat. Every detail has to be precisely correct and detailed records must be kept of test results gained under the wide variety of conditions commonly encountered in competition. This requires many trips from the drawing board, to the lake and back again. Hard work perhaps but the competitive edge, so important under the pressures of racing, is gained from the sum total of all the fine points learned in testing.
Once satisfied with our design, we can then begin to produce our first prototype molds. This starts a whole new ball game, for simplicity has to be built in and allowances made for natural fiberglass shrinkage. We must also recalculate any center of gravity changes from the prototype, then finally produce the first test boats. Three are usually built and tested, all with power variations and different set ups. At this point we’re close, but small corrections and minor refinements will need to be made before we can create our final production molds. At our end, it’s a very serious business, we produce totally race competitive designs. Some other manufacturers, especially those who produce such boats only as a side line, may elect to skip some of these seemingly unnecessary steps, but performance lost is a lesson learned in the wake of the best. It is the builder that reaps the disappointment. Not the end of the world perhaps, but we at Aeromarine have dedicated ourselves to producing boats and hardware of the highest possible caliber, to reflect the technology of today. Together, we both hope to be the first across the finish line. This is the dedication and design effort we put into all of our product line. Quality in our glass products, expertise is finishing, setting up race boats and customer service … these are our main concerns. We always try to be available to answer customers questions (even if you’re a builder of Brand-X). We know, and hope that one day soon you’ll have one of our boats in your hands, then the comparison shall begin. We hope we meet you at the lake. And wish you well in the spirit of the race.
