Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM) Process - Sportsman's "Behind The Glass" (Season 2 - Episode 5)

Welcome to Sportsman Boats, "Behind The Glass," Season 2. This series is based around the construction process of a Sportsman Boat. In this episode we are looking at a very intricate and commonly over looked process of boat manufacturing, the LRTM Process. This process creates lids, boxes, and so much more. It leaves the inside of lids smooth and finished adding that extra hint of finish to each of our models. Just another step we take to ensure the highest quality for our customers.
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.
