From its inception, the intention of the Egret Boat Company was to simply build the best flats boat available.Their design, engineering, construction methods, and materials are unsurpassed in today’s boat building industry. Extensive labor hours and use of the finest quality, state-of-the-art materials are unaffordable to the production boat builder.Their philosophy at the Egret Boat Company is to build, without compromise, the finest skiff on the market today.They sell factory direct with their own sales force. Everyone pays the same price and they are not able to offer any discounts. They have a very modest advertising budget, and by building a new manufacturing plant, every effort has been made to produce their boats in the most efficient way possible.

The Egret 16′ 7″ was built in wood and developed in the water over an intense four month period. The 16′ 7″ outperforms other skiffs up to 19′ in rough water and poles like a dream. It floats sideways to the wind like its larger sibling and pivots on its fore foot. The new Egret 306 is the next generation of fishing machine.

Glastron Boats

May 16th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123triad

In 1956, newly-founded Glastron Boats began making boats with an exciting new material called fiberglass. The goal was to produce stylish, feature-rich, yet affordable boats. The combination launched a whole new era in boating and made the young company the world leader in just a few short years.More than fifty years later, Glastron has built nearly half a million boats. Along the way, weve been responsible for dozens of design and manufacturing innovations, moving boat building technology forward with each new breakthrough. Its not surprising that the Glastron sweep spear thats on the side of every model is now one of the most recognized icons in boating.

At the heart of our manufacturing operation is VEC technology, a proprietary, closed-mold fiberglass lamination process. Theres nothing else like it. VEC is highly automated, environmentally friendly and incredibly precise. Boats built with VEC are light weight, yet incredibly strong. VEC technology contributes to every Glastron owners sense of satisfaction by enhancing structural integrity and improving ride quality.Timeless Glastron performance comes from our timeless SSV (Super Stable Vee) hull. Its quick to plane (with minimal bowrise), stable at high speeds and tracks tight in the turns. And the combination of light weight and hydrodynamic efficiency results in another big advantage: excellent fuel economy.
