Machine sanding is for rough shaping. The final superyacht quality finish our boats have can only come from a craftsman’s hands. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f52db9be26f1958a4ed45/1569674034629/64922277_349249582428126_3764558909621141504_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console The seamless transition from stringer (top) to hull (bottom). No joints, no glue, just a perfect infused hull and stringers. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f51bc3564896c48cfc61d/1569673684935/59299304_324958121523939_1818290382039941120_o.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Long-block hand sanding for a flawless finish. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f514da66d2544e4ba5ef4/1569673601488/58443061_324084654944619_5468165001908846592_o.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Our hulls are finished to superyacht grade. Long block sanding after the high build primer will make for a flawless finish. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f50901a38c06f73075404/1569673473262/54518229_309981669688251_2982985281063354368_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Every part of the GS36 is vacuum-infused, including this base for a Seakeeper anti-roll gyro. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f489bb40e651e2b6acc91/1569673354949/51318377_293000161386402_3151048850299420672_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console After they are coated in epoxy, we completely encapsulate our fuel tanks in fiberglass for a lifetime of service. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f481db40e651e2b6ac969/1569673354944/50115460_285350458818039_1094495479636426752_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Our fuel tanks are made from 1/4” material, rather than the standard 1/8” other builders use. Tanks are then coated with epoxy. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f46f8b40e651e2b6ac3b1/1569671005765/47375615_268220463864372_1438244492841844736_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console The bilge compartment is faired and finished to the same standard as the exterior of the hull. Most boats use either a drop-in liner or brushed gelcoat over a rough fiberglass surface. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f45f979805058e2412fbb/1569670743051/47341538_267701893916229_6348463113804709888_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Storage boxes are faired for a finished look. Not using a liner mold yields under-deck storage equivalent to most boats in the 39-40’ class and gives owners full flexibility for storage and bait wells. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f4494b742c96b31989a23/1569670366226/45486000_257890254897393_979690612972322816_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Every hull is infrared scanned in-house to guarantee quality before it is pulled from the mold. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f4386906dae39b158bc50/1569670040895/44942069_254540325232386_5592576718276657152_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Resin ready for the infusion process. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f42c64dc6d97ebcaff864/1569669863396/44668868_253522735334145_36743874714009600_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console The time we invest in planning our infusion manifolds ensures we have full control over the flow and speed of our resin. Quality and consistency are top priorities. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f424e1b5be40cac8c341d/1569669765713/44558251_253093648710387_4754721636408623104_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console The flow media used in the infusion process was developed for the aerospace industry and has far superior properties than other products available. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8f3fa418014c4d21c4613a/1569675025122/38828299_223335321686220_7212842487763697664_n.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Every panel in our consoles and leaning posts has a minimum of 3/4” coring for a strong and rigid end product. This also keeps through-bolts and visible mounting hardware to a minimum for a clean finish. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2bc9d794b6cc45f3364/1569673792050/cloth.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Stringers positioned for glass to be laid over them. We don’t glue or secondary fiberglass our stringers in. They are done in the infusion of the hull making the hull and stringers truly one piece. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2bb34b2f943daff2707/1569674942043/hoses.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Resin flows in through the manifold. Infusion combined with proper engineering of structural components means a lighter, stronger boat and consistency from hull to hull. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b9c053e027d90b8145/1569674912012/green.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console We go over ever square inch of the vacuum bag with a leak detector to ensure we have 100% vacuum before infusion. This is where technology meets craftsmanship. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b8b56b703b838df5b7/1569674539852/skin.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Preparing to stack dry materials for infusion. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b7e33f042ae58e13aa/1569674424128/skin2.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Skin coat going in. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b71fcf2875029a1dc4/1569674402803/IMG_0814.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Gelcoat sprayed into the mold. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b3a46ac041f7c95779/1569669341899/IMG_0864.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Every piece of fiberglass is CNC cut to exact measurements for a perfect fit. This means we have less overlaps and more continuous hull laminates. Our entire hull sides are one continuous layer every time. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/5d8ea2b104e883594a604628/5d8ea2b2fc084b0d0a407b14/1569669448543/IMG_7306.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console Like our fiberglass, our cores are CNC cut for perfect a fit. This means we have no gaps in our core and therefore no weak points. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d8c00d71d33674f2b8378b0/1569456347370/white-background-2k.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d9d40b000f694722d73195e/1570814943004/marlin-banner2.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d9d4264aa64aa2c93526c82/1570587241882/white-background-2k.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d9d4438d3fcae6909ef6211/1570587713921/drawing-banner-a.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d9d445eec644f6cb9dc9d6d/1570587771216/drawing-banner-b.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d6075efbbac16000109ec77/t/5d9d449c3b0b19191eb58670/1570587841706/drawing-banner-c.jpg The GS36 High Performance Center Console
