materIalS/manufacturIng
Your boat is made of Ram-X™. Its great flexibility
offers exceptional shock resistance. This flexibility
increases with heat or with the craft’s prolonged
exposure to the sun but may also slightly warp the
hull. The warping disappears when the hull cools
and never affects the craft’s performance.
Ram-X™ is a superior material that was developed and registered in 1978. It
quickly became the benchmark of quality in the industry thanks to its shock
resistance and ability to regain its initial shape following an impact. Widely
hailed by consumers, Ram-X™ is a step above other materials used in the
industry.
about your fISHIng boat
•
There is a capacity sticker on every boat. These capacity ratings should be
respected at all times for your safety and security.
•
Sturdy polystyrene foam blocks are located between the hulls for optimum
safety. Do not remove them as they are for extra flotation.
•
Some larger boat models have wood reinforcement between the deck and hull,
and all boats are reinforced with wood at the bow and stern, to provide you with
the support required in a small fishing boat.
•
All fasteners or mounting hardware are either made of stainless steel or anodized
aluminum.
•
Always distribute weight evenly when using the boat in order to attain the
highest performance.
tranSportatIon
•
Do not use handles to secure boat for transport.
•
We recommend a bunk trailer as keel rollers could eventually dent the hull.
•
Respect the load recommendations that the trailer is built for.
•
Your boat is very light so be sure to calculate total weight of motor if applicable
plus boat, plus gear, before trailering to avoid any unnecessary bouncing of your
boat on larger trailers.
•
Ensure that boat is properly secured to trailer.
•
Remove swivel seats, livewell and battery compartments, and any other
accessories before trailering to avoid loss or damage.
