Hot Air Seam Welding

Longer lasting hulls
   
 
Hot air rotary heat-sealing is a welding process used to join thermoplastic industrial fabrics and films using very precise heat, speed and pressure settings. The correct combination of these three parameters allows for the achievement of a complete weld. In the case of hot air, heat is provided by blowing compressed air across electrical heat elements and is injected at the welding point. The tightly controlled temperature can range from 40°C to 750°C.

Aquarius are one of the only manufacturers to offer full wash though stainless steel transom, which will should outlast the life of the boat. (Other manufacturers use weaker aluminium which is subject to cracks and costly repairs after only a few years use)

 
 

One of the only brands to offer a better nose-cone mounting system to pontoons. More surface area to tube allowing for a stronger attachment point.

Fiberglas nose cone race designed and proven to optimise the right amount of lift for stability at high speeds as well as strength to punch through the biggest waves.

Optional Extras

Race Carbon Fibre / Kevlar floor boards

Custom fitted to your hull for a perfect fit $1200.00 Inc GST.

Benefits

Strength - The Carbon / Kevlar blend is used for its strength for the compression and tension forcers that your hull withstands under the tougher condition.
Hull Rigidity - A very noticeable difference in hull twist even in a strait line which translates to speed. (Simple test is to support the standard boards upright between your feet and twist with your hands “approximately 110mm of twist per board x 2 =220mm of hull twist).
Weight – Carbon / Kevlar boards weigh approximately ½ the weight of the conventional marine ply boards (increases your overall acceleration “power to weight”).
Save $$$ and Time – Carbon / Kevlar boards virtually eliminate the replacement cost of broken boards and down time of replacement which happens to most marine ply boards.

Carbon Fibre nose cone (Aquarius only)

Custom order with new hull only - $650.00 Inc GST extra.

Benefits

Strength - The Carbon Fibre is used for its strength for the compression and tension forcers that your hull withstands under the tougher condition.
Weight – Carbon Fibre weighs approximately ½ the weight of fibreglass saving you another 5 kilograms (increases your overall acceleration “power to weight”).
Looks – “WOW” just look at the Carbon Fibre finished off to perfection with large weave matting. A perfect option for the enthusiast.
