European Trends

There is a Sturdy in our marina in a charter fleet. Their hull finish is simply amazing, and awhile back I read an article that explained why. The non-commercial hulls built by this company are treated like automobile bodies. When they have finished welding up the hull, it is filled and faired perfectly with the same process automakers use to fill and fair car bodies. The company also makes commercial vessels using the same hulls as their recreational boats. The article included photos of one of their commercial boats and a recreational boat with the exact same hull. The difference between the un-faired commercial hull and the auto-body-finished recreational hull was substantial. Of course in terns of strength and build quality, both hulls were identical.
