Because of our limited production and time consuming procedures,
we are going to keep the pictures updated. We will replace the pictures and the new owners
names as their boat goes through the processes. Now with the help of the internet you can
keep track of your new Norris Craft as it is being built. The information will stay the
same, but the boat owners name and pictures will change as the status of their new boat
changes.

The key to a quality boat is to have a top quality mold. The mold is the product of
a model boat, which most people call a proto type. We design and test our own proto types
before the mold is constructed. This allows us to do extensive testing and perfecting
before the first boat is produced. We will spend months and even years in our R&D
department block sanding, shaving, perfecting and testing ideas |

Boats are built in reverse order from which they appear. The first step in our
process is to apply the gelcoat to the mold. We have a state of the art paint booth to
provide a dust free environment to apply the
gelcoat. the gelcoats are
applied by highly experienced painters, who apply the colors to the stripes and graphics.
Due to the number of colors in our paint scheme this process is complicated and time
consuming. It requires multiple applications of gelcoats and experienced manipulation of
chemical reactions to assure clean stripes and high glossy finishes. Tolerance is tight and mixtures are
carefully
calculated. Our final painting is a special treatment to ensure that air entrapment can be
found and corrected by the lay up crew to prevent air bubbles in the lamination. |
