Fiberglass Hull On The Largest Classic Mahogany Motorboats

Fiberglass hull on the largest classic mahogany motorboats

Recently, Hacker Boat Company has introduced its first ever fiberglass-hulled standard model boat at the Yacht & Brokerage Show in Miami Beach. Until this point, Hacker said all of its standard Hacker-Craft models have had mahogany hulls, although it has built custom boats with fiberglass hulls for individual customers. The company said it will continue to build boats will mahogany hulls as well.

 “Over the years prospective customers have asked if we make a fiberglass hull, and we decided to introduce this model to meet that demand,” said George Badcock, the company’s president and CEO.

Hacker Boat Company says it is the largest American manufacturer of classic mahogany motorboats, and that each boat takes craftsmen more than 1,500 hours to construct.

The new 27-foot special sport fiberglass-hulled model will sell for $325,000. The new model will be slightly lighter than a similar mahogany-hulled craft, although it’s not expected to make a difference in fuel consumption. It’s expected to require slightly less maintenance than mahogany.
