strength, Style Performance

These are the three main benefits to PreFlex hull technology.
Strength

By incorporating Pre-Flex™ or ‘pre-bending' our hulls, su-
perior strength is formed into the aluminum as the hull is
built, virtually eliminating any vibration of hull noise com-
mon in other aluminum boats. :
Style * :
Smooth, complementary lines and superior finishing; our
' boats catch attention wherever you dare to'venture. Our
hidden hull seams are backed by our lifetime hull war-
ranty which is transferable to a new owner if you feel the
need to purchase a second Harbercratt boat.

Performance :

Look underneath any of our boat models at what really
counts; the hull design. Our hulls are built on a steel jig
system, each aluminum sheet is formed into shape before
the-final welding procedure. Once removed for the steel -
jig the hull retains the shape our engineers intended, di-
recting the water efficiently and correctly, reducing fuel
use while creating a smooth ride in any kind of water.
