Pro-Line’s
success story hinges on some of the boating industry’s
most talented and committed professionals.
Essential are company founder Dan Atwood’s
visionary approach to boat building, General Manager
John E. Walker’s distinguished track record
of air-tight production management, vision
and leadership..
We’re further strengthened by the tenure
of folks like John “Mr. Motorman” Geer,
who has installed over 10,000 engines in his 36
years with Pro-Line. Moreover, the five members
of our lamination team account for more than 100
years of combined service.
Such recognition is a nice thing for nice people.
But each of these folks will tell you that ego
is not the point. The point is consistency – the
same hands that secured bow rails last year will
do it again this year. The same set of eyes that
double-check fuel tank installations today will
inspect again tomorrow.
Sure, we train new people – that’s
essential for any business. However, we celebrate
employee milestones far more often than we welcome
rookies. We secure the best people, we retain the
best people. That’s how we deliver the best
product year after year.

Pillars of Performance |
| See Our Ten Pillars Video |
| |
1.
LAMINATION FIXATION
|
|
We
laminate our hulls with a process and materials
exceeding the requirements of “Lloyds Registry
of Shipping. We apply laminates by hand for a flawless
finish and squeegee excess resin to minimize weight
and yield the proper resin-to fiberglass ratio.
Multi-axial fabrics improve laminate strength and
overall sturdiness.
|
 |
| |
|
2. RESONATING
RESIN |
|
Only high-quality marine resin satisfies our
demands for strength and cosmetics. We demand
the best because we build the best.
|
 |
| |
|
3. COAT
OF CLASS |
|
High-quality ISO NPG gel
coat finish provides durability and a long-lasting
shine. Pro-Line applies 25 mils for strength
while still maintaining flexibility and performance..
|
 |
| |
|
4. F.I.S.T.
PACKS A PUNCH |
|
Pro-Line’s proprietary
Fiberglass Integrated Structural Technology (F.I.S.T.)
provides the rock solid foundation for all of
our boats. Pro-Line completely eliminates wood
rot with fiberglass stringers that we laminate
to the hull for a superior one-piece hull system.
We also use high-tech coring material which means
less weight and no water absorption. Only interior
cabinetry is made of wood..
|
 |
| |
|
5. A CUT
ABOVE |
|
Fiberglass and coring materials
are pre-cut and kitted for each boat to ensure
quality and consistency. Attention to detail
complements our precision processes.
|
 |
| |
|
6. UNBREAKABLE
BONDS |
|
A Pro-Line’s hull-to-deck
joint is bonded with an adhesive sealant and
secured with stainless steel fasteners to provide
a strong, water-tight union. The rub rail is
secured through the deck and hull at pre-drilled
intervals with sealed stainless steel fasteners.
The bow area and transom are glassed together,
and strong polyester putty bonds the deck to
the stringers. This fortified process gives Pro-Line
boats a solid “one piece” construction
that keeps you safe and comfortable on the water.
|
 |
| |
|
7. KEEP
IT COOL AND LIVELY |
|
Foam insulated fish boxes
and coolers keep ice frozen longer, while insulated
live wells maximize bait life. Such unseen elements
bespeak Pro-Line’s dedication to customer
satisfaction.
|
 |
| |
|
8. LOCKED
DOWN |
|
Aircraft style lock nuts
prevent loosening, while aluminum backing plates
keep bolts in place even under heavy loads. Through-bolted
stainless steel hardware yields maximum strength
and solidity with a clean look for the life of
your Pro-Line.
|
 |
| |
|
9. WIRED
FOR SUCCESS |
|
Pro-Line boats are rigged
with top-quality, braided marine grade wire.
Each connection is heat shrunk and sprayed to
prevent corrosion. Sealed Deutch Connectors are
used for maximum corrosion protection, and all
wiring is color coded to meet NMMA specifications.
|
 |
| |
|
10. COMMITMENT
TO QUALITY |
|
Long-term partnerships with
suppliers ensure product consistency and reliable
technical support. We don’t shop by price – we
shop to find the best materials for your Pro-Line.

HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD
|
| |
|
"I was looking
for a fast, safe, high water multi-use vessel
-fish in the morning, ski in the afternoon,
outrun a few storms and yes, commute to work.
The Pro-Line 29 Super Sport fit the bill perfectly.
And even in some pretty rough water, I've yet
to get wet."
-Peter Greenberg, Today Show Travel Reporter,
America On-Line Travel Editor and Pro-Line Owner
