Funny thing your not far off. That is what correct craft did to them. The guy who started Centurion boats actually went to Correct Craft first and try to build under their name, but the Meloons said it would never work and told him to kick rocks. They then started making their own boats and built a name for themselves in the industry. And now Correct Craft owned them.

🤣Its easy to copy the hull, but that's probably as far as you could get on a small scale. I think it would be practically impossible to source and install all the electronics and mechanics of the boat.

@peglegtoo 2 жыл бұрын

@@adamwaz5615 I think Hulls are usually just a couple of colors. They tape it off to create the graphics/ where they want one color to end and the next to begin. each section is then sprayed the prescribed color ( some graphics are also vinyl stickers added later as well) . Then yes, the rest of the hull is layered up fiberglass, I am not sure how many layers but I would think 5 or 6 anyway. its incredibly labor intensive. the benefit, because each previous layer is not fully cured the next layer bonds chemically to it so its incredibly strong. I am not sure what gel coat is but I think of it as colored resin.

I liked the video overall. But you kaleidoscope speed flashing through the color samples was really annoying because I did not really have a chance to get a decent look at them and just how nice they are. We did not get a chance to see just how nice these boats really are. Lots of nice details of the boats just flashed by. The metal flake blue hull was stunning! Glad to see bright colors instead of everything being a shade of gray or black. Now I am going back and rerun the interesting parts in 1/4 speed to see if I can get a good look at the interesting bits.
