Advantages and Building Process Deck Boats

Princecraft ^® deck boats allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds

• The performance of a speed boat
• The comfort and spaciousness of a pontoon
• Everyone can enjoy the fun

Over 65 years of engineering goes into our deck boats

• The same innovative engineering and almost the same assembly as our fish boats
• The same legendary Princecraft^® quality is evidenced in every detail
• The same quest for unparalleled performance

Aluminum boats perform better than fiberglass

Fiberglass is heavier than aluminum, so you get better performance from a smaller engine.

Aluminum boats offer a number of advantages:

• Plane faster and stay on plane at slower speeds
• Provide better fuel efficiency and easier trailering with a smaller vehicle
• Offer unsurpassed handling and performance
• Require less maintenance than fiberglass
• Can be beached on a rocky shore without chipping or cracking the hull
• Are more durable, which is why they manufacture airplanes and semi-trucks from aluminum

Princecraft ^® State-of-the-art CAD Design and Engineering

• Our designers create and test models in the computer
• Develop hulls and features for performance and styling
• CAD and solid works 3D software ensures every specification is precise
• Exclusive three-step construction process combining:
  • Riveting
  • Welding and
  • Aircraft-grade adhesive
• For unmatched combination of strength, durability and performance

Testing and Re-testing

• Our history of innovation demonstrates our unyielding quest for better boats
• Every hull is tank tested - from the largest to the smallest
• Ensures water tightness
• Prototypes are tested for performance and durability
• Final adjustments are made to hulls and components

Built from the best aluminum

• We insist on H36 throughout our boats because we won't compromise on durability
• H36 is 25% harder than other aluminum alloys used by some competitors
  • Provides uniform strength and a truer hull shape
  • Provides a better ride, more durability and lasting value

Every Component Fits Better

High-tech CNC cutting equipment so cuts are extremely precise

• Every component fits precisely, performs better and lasts longer
• The biggest difference in assembly from model to model are the serial numbers

Structural Durability

The best combination of structural components for each boat size and usage

• We maximize the structural strength of hulls with aluminum transverse and longitudinal framings
  • H36 center keel from stern to mid ship
  • H36 aluminum brace-plate from mid-ship to bow
  • Aluminum extrusion at the junction of the hull and the sides

Princecraft^® has more extruded aluminum parts than its competitors. These parts play an important role in obtaining a more refined finish and greater rigidity of the boat. Our gunnels, that are designed this way, give even more rigidity to our hulls.

Wider, Deeper V-hull

• Our deck boats have a greater load capacity
• A wider, deeper-V provides more stability while idling or underway
• Our advanced hull design cuts through water better with less pounding
• Our hulls can handle larger, faster engines
• Reverse-chine hull designs for performance-enhancing lift, efficiency and agility
• Our hulls, made of single piece of aluminum, are designed to easily absorb the shock of waves

Ergonomic interiors

• We build every deck for optimum comfort and performance
• Spacious floor plans and plenty of seating
• Helm stations with everything within easy reach
• Ample underseat and floor storage
• Clean sight lines

Ultra-comfortable seats

Our plush seating is built for all-day comfort

• Thickly upholstered chairs, benches and lounges are among the most comfortable available
• High seat-backs for greater support
• Many models provide a full-width sun lounge or chaise lounge
• Some models feature our plush folding pedestal seats

Unmatched fit and finish

No other aluminum boat manufacturer can match our craftsmanship

• Fit and finish comparable to fine automobiles
• As comfortable as your living room, with a better view
• Integrated, smooth-looking side panels
• No exposed wiring or gaps in components
• You can see the quality in every detail
• Coordinated colors and graphics
