Customizing your aluminum boat

You want to customize a production boat

If the customization of a production vessel is not enough and your operating conditions or navigation program are very specific, we can study the possibility of installing more sophisticated options ou to change their place, even of resize them.

Some examples: high-end NIBS or MANUPLAS fenders, several jibs, a frame, a gangway, a rigid honeycomb aluminum composite awning, an auxiliary electric motor, an electric winch, underwater cameras, flaps, tilting bulwarks, ergonomic diving or reboarding ladders, a reinforced deck for high-end piston seats, a reinforced deck to support the weight of vehicles, a Guerra type hydraulic crane , a watermaker, a hydrogenerator, an autopilot, a livewell, hybrid or electric motorization, fishing gear such as trap hauler, line hauler/longliner.

Your project

Step by step

1. First date

We agree to an initial meeting by video or in person to gather your needs and determine the major modifications to be made to an already existing ship model.

2. Pre-study

A pre-study is proposed to you in order to check the impacts on the stability and structure of the boat, to validate the feasibility and determine the additions of material and other components which will impact manufacturing costs. This type of pre-study can have a variable cost depending on the size of the vessel and the complexity of the customization.

3. Setting a budget

A budget envelope is then defined and more precise work can make it possible to produce a manufacturing quote.

4. Signature of the quote

The quote is signed by you, serving as a purchase order. A first deposit is paid. Your ship is added to the design schedule and production schedule

5. Overall plan

An overall plan including the chosen options is sent to you as well as 3D views for your validation

6. Complete study

The complete study is carried out as well as the manufacturing plans to allow the site to take action. The budget can be updated if the forecast masses of aluminum are different from the pre-study and if options and equipment need to be added or removed.

7. Aluminum order

Orders for aluminum, motors and other components are formalized

8. Manufacturing

Manufacturing begins and manufacturing monitoring photos are sent to you every week

9. First attempts

The ship is launched for testing, an electrical assessment is carried out by a specialized firm in order to prevent any risk of electrolysis. You are of course invited to these tests where all the equipment is tested, the engine performances validated by our experts and the technical manager of the manufacturer's brand.
