Production
Assembly
After the hull is welded together, assembly takes place, including the welding of ribs to the inside of the hull.
Ribs are what give a boat it's structural strength. They run the width of the boat and up both sides of the boat.
All Alweld boats are produced with ribs close together to create strength, integrity and durability. On especially large boats the ribs are even closer together to keep the boat from breaking up under stress.
Our Vee bottom ribs have several advantages over our competitors. First of all they are flat on top. This makes standing in the boat easier with a level rib. Also it makes installation of a flat floor much easier. The solid rib also adds great strength, as opposed to the rib being cut and bent to be welded into the boat.
