Advantages and Building ProcessFishing Boats

Why Choose Aluminum?

At Princecraft^®, we believe performance starts with the right material. Aluminum is lighter than fiberglass, delivering better efficiency with less horsepower.

Advantages of Princecraft^® Aluminum Boats:

• Quick to plane: faster lift-off and sustained planning at lower speeds
• Fuel-efficient: lower gas consumption and easy towing with smaller vehicles
• Superior handling: unmatched maneuverability and control
• Low maintenance: easier to care for than fiberglass hulls
• Built tough: dock on rocky shores without worrying about scratches or cracks
• Long-lasting: aluminum is trusted in aviation and heavy transport for its durability

H36 Aluminum – Superior by Design

At Princecraft^®, we don’t just use aluminum — we use the best: 5052-H36 alloy.

Why?
Because it’s 25% more rigid than the alloys used by most competitors. And that makes all the difference:

• Stronger, smoother hulls with consistent resistance
• Enhanced performance in demanding conditions
• Exceptional durability that preserves your boat’s value over time

Every Princecraft^® hull is built entirely with H36 aluminum, because we believe in delivering boats that last, perform, and inspire confidence — year after year.

Hull Design That Delivers

At Princecraft^®, the hull is more than structure — it’s the foundation of performance. Every hull is engineered with precision and rigorously tested to ensure unmatched stability, control, and safety.

What sets our hulls apart:

• Wide bottoms for superior stability, even in rough waters
• Reverse chine hulls (on most models):
  • Increase lift and help the boat plane faster
  • Reduce drag for smoother navigation
• Dual reverse chine hulls:
  • Adapt to speed and load for optimal performance
  • Outer chine excels at low speed or heavy load
  • Inner chine shines at high speed or light load
• Deep-V hulls: slice through waves and keep passengers dry
• One-piece H36 aluminum construction: absorbs wave impact and ensures long-term durability
• Exceptional handling: precise control and responsive steering at any speed
• Optimized weight: lightweight aluminum means better fuel efficiency without sacrificing strength

At Princecraft^®, every hull is built to turn every ride into a confident, exhilarating experience.

Manufacturing Technology – Precision That Powers Performance

At Princecraft^®, innovation goes beyond materials — it’s built into every step of our design process. Using advanced CAD systems and cutting-edge 3D modeling software, we engineer hulls and features that elevate both performance and style.

What this means for you:

• Millimeter-level precision in every detail
• Hulls designed to perform, endure, and impress
• Consistent quality from prototype to production

Our manufacturing technology reflects our commitment to excellence — delivering boats that are as refined as they are reliable.

Test and Retest – Precision Comes First

At Princecraft^®, every boat goes through a rigorous validation process. Our drive for innovation and perfection is reflected in our approach: test, refine, and improve.

What we do every time:

• Tank testing for every hull, from the smallest to the largest
• Leak-proof verification to ensure uncompromising safety
• Prototype trials to validate performance and durability
• Final adjustments to hulls and components to meet our exacting standards

Because a Princecraft^® boat never leaves the factory until it’s proven ready to take on the elements — and deliver an uncompromising boating experience.

Precision Assembly – Accuracy Is Our Standard

At Princecraft^®, every component is assembled with uncompromising precision. Our advanced CNC cutting equipment ensures flawless fits, delivering performance and durability that exceed industry standards.

What this means:

• Extremely tight manufacturing tolerances
• Consistent compliance with our quality benchmarks
• Superior performance and long-term reliability
• The only difference between models is the serial number — not the quality

Every Princecraft^® boat is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship, where nothing is left to chance.

Reinforced Where It Matters Most

At Princecraft^®, we understand that stress points take the hardest hits on the water. That’s why we reinforce them with precision — so every hull stands up to the toughest conditions.

How we build to last:

• Double aluminum thickness at the bow, where wave impact is strongest
• Reinforced chine, where the bottom meets the sides
• Smart tension transfer to side panels to prevent cracking
• Exclusive use of H36 aluminum for superior rigidity and strength

Every reinforcement is designed to extend your boat’s lifespan and preserve its performance — season after season.

Proven Assembly Methods – Reliability You Can Feel

At Princecraft^®, we rely on the most trusted method in high-stress engineering: riveting. Used in aircraft construction for its unmatched strength, riveting ensures exceptional durability without compromising the aluminum’s mechanical properties.

Why riveting makes all the difference:

• Ultra-reliable, even under extreme stress
• Preserves aluminum integrity, unlike welding
• Double-riveted at key junctions: bottom, sides, and transom
• Fully riveted on all 18-foot and larger models, using solid ¼-inch aluminum rivets placed strategically

Every rivet in a Princecraft^® boat is a mark of strength, safety, and long-lasting performance.
