The manufacturing process consists of designing and contracting for the manufacture of a mold for each size, applying fiberglass to the mold, curing and finishing the hull, and mounting the purchased hardware. Boats can be prroduced at the rate of about eight a day on each mold(one shift) and a mold will make 2,400 boats before it wears out.
