- Welcome to Sportsman Boats, "Behind The Glass," a new series based around the construction process inside the Sportsman Plant. In this episode we are taking a look at the Stringer Construction Process. We will dive into each step along the way, explaining the materials we use and why we use them.
Come back each week as we release new episodes and take you through the processes we have developed to build the fastest growing line of center console and bay boats on the market.

One of the best presentations I've viewed. Great spokesman and photography. Thank you.
This is a wonderful series and serves as even more confidence in the manufacturing of the Sportsman boats.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying it.
This is great. I wish they could build one I can afford. 😂 Y’all get to work on that ok.
Loving this series!
That's what we want to hear! Thanks for watching!
look so very nice and Interested
Hello Sportsman Boats I was wondering how long the process of building the boat bottom structural liner takes? I calculated 10 working days by two laminators and one foreman am I wrong?
I have a couple of questions for you
1. bonding the grid using MMA is a standard approach, but I couldn't see any fiber glass tabbing being done afterwards, to physically bond the grid to the hull. How do you get around the issue of the MMA becoming brittle over time and loosing its bond?
2. Watching the process videos, it seems that you are mostly doing a wet out process as opposed to a vacuum bagging process. How do you control the resin to glass ratios, and keep the boat lighter?
I’m not a representative of the company but in the video they due state that they’re use of a aerospace quality cement is used to bond the framing to the haul
😍😍
Wish a boat in Maldives 🛥️
Good day what is the name of the bon ding agent that you use to glue the stringer's in thank you for your reply
Methyl Methacrylate.
Are these boats unsinkable like the Boston Whaler or the Sea Hunts? I see you had high density foam but it doesn't seem like enough to make it unsinkable.
The boats are foam filled for some flotation and insulation but you're not going to be able to cut it in half and drive it around like we once saw Boston Whaler do. But yes, in a catastrophic event you will have floating surface area on the boat.
If there is an opportunity to go to work in the factory, do not know how good.
