 THE POWER OF PEOPLE
 
Dedication & Direction Delivers  
Pro-Line’s success story hinges on some of the boating industry’s most talented and committed professionals.

Essential are company founder Dan Atwood’s visionary approach to boat building, General Manager John E. Walker’s distinguished track record of air-tight production management, and the vision and leadership of Lee Kimmel – CEO of Pro-Line’s parent company, American Marine Holdings.

We’re further strengthened by the tenure of folks like John “Mr. Motorman” Geer, who has installed over 10,000 engines in his 36 years with Pro-Line. Moreover, the five members of our lamination team account for more than 100 years of combined service.

Such recognition is a nice thing for nice people. But each of these folks will tell you that ego is not the point. The point is consistency – the same hands that secured bow rails last year will do it again this year. The same set of eyes that double-check fuel tank installations today will inspect again tomorrow.

Sure, we train new people – that’s essential for any business. However, we celebrate employee milestones far more often than we welcome rookies. We secure the best people, we retain the best people. That’s how we deliver the best product year after year.


LEGACY BY DESIGN
 
10 Pillars of Performance
See Our Ten Pillars Video


1. LAMINATION FIXATION
We laminate our hulls with a process and materials exceeding the requirements of “Lloyds Registry of Shipping. We apply laminates by hand for a flawless finish and squeegee excess resin to minimize weight and yield the proper resin-to fiberglass ratio. Multi-axial fabrics improve laminate strength and overall sturdiness.
2. RESONATING RESIN
Only high-quality marine resin satisfies our demands for strength and cosmetics. We demand the best because we build the best.

3. COAT OF CLASS
High-quality ISO NPG gel coat finish provides durability and a long-lasting shine. Pro-Line applies 25 mils for strength while still maintaining flexibility and performance.
 
 4. F.I.S.T. PACKS A PUNCH
Pro-Line’s proprietary Fiberglass Integrated Structural Technology (F.I.S.T.) provides the rock solid foundation for all of our boats. Pro-Line completely eliminates wood rot with fiberglass stringers that we laminate to the hull for a superior one-piece hull system. We also use high-tech coring material which means less weight and no water absorption. Only interior cabinetry is made of wood.
5. A CUT ABOVE
Fiberglass and coring materials are pre-cut and kitted for each boat to ensure quality and consistency. Attention to detail complements our precision processes.
6. UNBREAKABLE BONDS
A Pro-Line’s hull-to-deck joint is bonded with an adhesive sealant and secured with stainless steel fasteners to provide a strong, water-tight union. The rub rail is secured through the deck and hull at pre-drilled intervals with sealed stainless steel fasteners. The bow area and transom are glassed together, and strong polyester putty bonds the deck to the stringers. This fortified process gives Pro-Line boats a solid “one piece” construction that keeps you safe and comfortable on the water.
 7. KEEP IT COOL AND LIVELY
Foam insulated fish boxes and coolers keep ice frozen longer, while insulated live wells maximize bait life. Such unseen elements bespeak Pro-Line’s dedication to customer satisfaction.
 8. LOCKED DOWN
Aircraft style lock nuts prevent loosening, while aluminum backing plates keep bolts in place even under heavy loads. Through-bolted stainless steel hardware yields maximum strength and solidity with a clean look for the life of your Pro-Line.
 9. WIRED FOR SUCCESS
Pro-Line boats are rigged with top-quality, braided marine grade wire. Each connection is heat shrunk and sprayed to prevent corrosion. Sealed Deutch Connectors are used for maximum corrosion protection, and all wiring is color coded to meet NMMA specifications.
 10. COMMITMENT TO QUALITY
Long-term partnerships with suppliers ensure product consistency and reliable technical support. We don’t shop by price – we shop to find the best materials for your Pro-Line.

HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD
 
"I was looking for a fast, safe, high water multi-use vessel -fish in the morning, ski in the afternoon, outrun a few storms and yes, commute to work. The Pro-Line 29 Super Sport fit the bill perfectly. And even in some pretty rough water, I've yet to get wet."
