Bryant Boats

At Bryant we have a relentless insistence on excellence, quality and value. What that means is we put every ounce of our energy into building the best boats on the planet. That also means that at most every stage of production, we do things differently than other builders. Most importantly, we do things better than other boat builders. That's the Bryant Difference. Choose Carefully. Call us old fashioned, but we've never been about making the most boats. Plenty of other companies can compete for that title. Instead, we're focused (obsessed might be a better word) on building the best boats. Some companies boast of the speed in which they can stamp out their product. At Bryant, we proudly confess that we spend a full two weeks handcrafting your boat from start to finish. Some companies talk about their fiberglass floor liners . . . and forget to mention the plywood stringers underneath. our competitors often gloss over their construction methods. We don't. We want you to know how your boat is constructed. Smart buyers know that what is under the surface is what matters years from now. We want you to feel confident about long-term quality and eventual resale value. Remember, you are not just buying a boat. you're investing in memories. It's an important decision- one that we think you shouldn't make lightly. Smart Boat shoppers do their homework just like you're doing here. Choose a boat you can count on for a lifetime, from a company that backs it up with a lifetime warranty. Choose from a company that is passionate about boat building. Choose from a company where you can meet the folks who proudly put their own name on the boat. That company is: Bryant.


Skeeter Boats
 EVERYTHING ELSE IS A WATERED-DOWN VERSION OF THE ORIGINAL Over five decades have passed since we built the first Skeeter, which just so happened to be the world’s first bass boat. Since then, we’ve been setting the standard, raising the bar and leaving the rest of the boating industry in a wake of innovation. It was way back in 1948 that Holmes Thurmond designed and launched the first Skeeter boat. By no means was it the last “first” for Skeeter. In 1961, we built the first bass boat from fiberglass, a huge leap forward in performance and durability. Then in 1975, Skeeter introduced the ”Wrangler,” the first V-bottom bass boat ever built. As time passed, Skeeter introduced a host of other innovations: the first full-length rod box, the first bass boat rated for a 150 HP, and the first to introduce “space age” composite materials with the X-Treme and X-Cel composite construction. From then on, cutting-edge technology and attention to detail have been the key ingredients of securing value for long-term owner satisfaction. Skeeter is a company that listens! We listen to the highest level of tournament fishermen! We listen to our dealers! More importantly, we listen to you, the customer, and take what we learn, putting it into every boat we deliver to you. The water remains our training and proving ground. It’s evident that Skeeter’s philosophy, “engineered like no other,” permeates everything we do – from the way we build our boats, to the courtesy we extend each time you walk into a dealership. Beginning with the extensive efforts taken in the methods of manufacturing, all the way to the winner’s circle, Skeeter’s pursuit of perfection has become clearly evident as the best engineered bass boats on the water today.

Lowe Aluminum Boats
WE MAKE GREAT FAMILY MEMORIES. Lowe was founded in 1971 to build high value aluminum boats and canoes to fit a family’s boating needs. Since then Lowe has created generations of family memories through great times on the water and has developed quite a reputation among experienced boaters for building high quality, yet affordable aluminum boats to suit almost any need. As the years have passed, second and third generations of families have returned to Lowe for more of these great times on the water.  Since Carl and Dianna Lowe founded Lowe Line in 1971, the company has become a technological leader in the aluminum boat market. Through the years Lowe has achieved many milestones that have pushed not only the company, but the entire industry forward.  Today Lowe builds over 100 models of riveted and welded jon, bass, deep-V, deck and pontoon boats, all focused on fishing and the family. With the power of Brunswick behind Lowe, the company continues to be on the forefront of aluminum boat quality and technology. 

Glastron Boats
NOBODY ELSE BUILDS BOATS LIKE THIS
Over the course of the past 50 years, Glastron has built nearly half a million boats. Along the way, we’ve also built something else: a legacy of technological firsts and manufacturing innovations. Two-tone graphics. Sterndrive propulsion. The Aqua-Lift® tri-hull. The Super Stable Vee (SSV®) hull. And, of course, VEC® closed-mold boat building technology.  Our Little Falls, Minnesota production facility is considered the world’s most advanced fiberglass boat building plant. There, every process meets or exceeds ISO 9001-2000 standards—the most stringent manufacturing guidelines in the world. From computer-assisted design (CAD) to computerized manufacturing operations, we take advantage of the latest technologies in the marine industry.  While most boat builders mold fiberglass just like they did decades ago, our patented VEC® technology replaces traditional hand-laid fiberglass lamination with a highly computerized 21st century closed-mold technology. The entire VEC process is completely automated and computer controlled. As each hull is formed, computers continually monitor more than 500 variables, allowing us to build these boats to much tighter tolerances. Precision on this scale has never before been possible in the marine industry. VEC hull weight variations run less than one percent, a fraction of the variances found in hand-laid fiberglass hulls.  Thanks to VEC® technology, we’re able to reduce the number of structural components. Everything is completely integrated on the hull, including the stringer system; there are no wooden stringers to rot, no joints or seams to separate. We’re able to achieve the same level of structural integrity with our unitized deck, which is also fabricated as a single fiberglass component. Beyond the aesthetics of the clean, seamless look, the unitized deck delivers a more stable and quieter ride. VEC technology and unitized construction are standard on all Glastron 17, 18, 19 and 20-foot runabout models.
