FINISHER R&D

Finishing is the part of the production process that is critical to the cosmetic qualities of the boat. The finisher inspects each fiberglass part for defects in gelcoat surface and composite layers.

Teamwork is a large factor in the success of the department. Quality standards, cost budgets, scheduling, safety and process control are the responsibilities of each member of the team.
