MIAMI, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- boats.com,
the leading boating authority for boat shoppers and owners, today
officially announced the launch of Factory Fridays, a
captivating new video series that sets out to tour boating's top
manufacturing facilities across America. The series gives viewers
exclusive access to the innovators and craftsmen behind iconic
brands, and a firsthand look at the latest boat building techniques
and materials used, as well as revered company traditions. The
series' trailer and first two episodes are now live on
YouTube.
"Boats aren't just a form of transportation, they are feats of
engineering and design that can capture our imagination and allow
us to enjoy the incredible freedom that the world's oceans, lakes
and rivers provide," said the series producer Ryan McVinney. "But who are the people behind
these modern machines? That is what Factory Fridays uncovers
and makes known to enthusiasts everywhere."
In the debut episode of Factory Fridays, the series
explores the 7.5-acre Intrepid Powerboats facility and grounds, and
enters a unique world of collaborative design, precision
construction and customization. Host Marilyn DeMartini meets with company president
Ken Clinton to discuss how the
award-winning builder has perfected the research and design process
over 30 years in business, and introduce their "one-of-a-kind,
one-at-a-time" approach to customer service.
From there, the second episode of Factory Fridays
pays a visit to the SeaHunter Boats facility in Homestead, Florida. Viewers pass through the
46,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art boat building shop where
SeaHunter constructs their signature hulls. These boats feature
stepped transoms which are touted to be faster than traditional
v-bottom or full-stepped hulls.
The show's next exciting segment that will be released tomorrow,
is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at legendary brand Chris-Craft
Boats in Sarasota, Florida. More
upcoming stops in the series include Invincible Boats, Pursuit
Boats, and Nor-Tech Boats, and many others. From innovative marine
propulsion systems and cutting-edge onboard technology, to the
advanced physics of computerized hull design, some of the world's
greatest boat builders share their fascinating stories and unique
approaches to constructing watercraft.
