In between the line, innovation never stops to deliver a world class features. There are different types of boats and most of them are path into endless improvement. Boat builders didn’t stop in discovering new materials as materials in building strong fresh water and salt water vessels. Before, wood was the only material used in constructing a boat, it was practiced for centuries, then came aluminium. However, both materials are prone to fast depreciation. Wood rots in water and aluminium rusts that made them so vulnerable. But thru the help of advanced technology, new material is discovered that can withstand UV rays and water’s silent power. Polyethylene. A high density polyethylene is a strong plastic material that can beat the heat and water elements. The thing about plastic is that, it does not decay after a million years and it does not rust. This is what makes plastic boats the great alternative to aluminium ones.

Five of its products are used for police work for over 10 years now. This only proves how versatile and strong their plastic boats are. Crafts are made with PE plastic Pipe with up to 25mmm wall thickness. They also have a rub rail for additional protection. The hull construction is made stronger with the plastic sheets from Germany that is 17% stronger than traditional PE 100. One of the great things about plastic-made vessels is that, it offers smooth sailing. It has a naturally slight flex that provides a free back jarring sails. The material is also best in cold places for its natural attribute does not transfer cold through the hull as it has its own insulating factors.
