Product Overview


Corrosion-Resistant Molded Fiberglass Marine Hulls set the industry standard for durability and performance in recreational, commercial, and military watercraft. Engineered through a closed-mold process, these hulls eliminate the weaknesses of traditional wooden or metal hulls, offering superior resistance to saltwater corrosion, impact damage, and biological fouling. Their lightweight construction improves fuel efficiency while providing exceptional structural integrity, making them ideal for vessels ranging from 10ft fishing boats to 50ft yachts.

Product Features


Structural Engineering

The hulls feature a sandwich core construction with fiberglass skins and closed-cell foam cores, achieving a flexural strength of 200 MPa and impact resistance exceeding 150 kJ/m². This design minimizes hull flexing, reducing fatigue and improving ride comfort in rough seas.


Corrosion and Fouling Resistance

The non-porous gel coat finish resists saltwater penetration and biofouling, reducing maintenance costs by up to 60% compared to aluminum hulls. Specialized anti-fouling coatings can be applied to further prevent marine growth.


Compliance with Marine Standards

Certified to meet ISO 12215 hull structural requirements for small craft and ABYC safety standards, ensuring performance in extreme conditions from -10°C to 40°C water temperatures.


Product Applications


Recreational Boating

Used in sailboats, powerboats, and personal watercraft for their smooth ride, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance requirements.

Commercial Fishing and Transport

Preferred for fishing vessels and small cargo boats operating in coastal and offshore waters due to their corrosion resistance and payload capacity.

Military and Rescue Vessels

Deployed by naval and coast guard units for patrol, search-and-rescue, and amphibious operations requiring reliable performance in harsh marine environments.


FAQ


What is the expected lifespan of a fiberglass marine hull?

With proper maintenance, fiberglass hulls typically last 30-50 years, significantly longer than wooden (15-20 years) or aluminum (20-30 years) hulls.

How to repair hull damage?

Minor cracks and gouges can be repaired using fiberglass patches and resin. Major damage requires professional repair, but the modular construction allows for section replacement without hull replacement.

Does the hull require special maintenance?

Annual inspection and waxing are recommended to preserve the gel coat. Anti-fouling paint should be reapplied every 1-2 years depending on usage frequency.

How does fuel efficiency compare to other hull materials?

Fiberglass hulls reduce fuel consumption by 15-20% compared to steel hulls of equivalent size due to their lighter weight and smoother surface friction.
