Brunswick’s commercial arm partners on series of aluminum boats
EDGEWATER, Fla. – Brunswick Commercial and Government Products, which manufactures watercraft for commercial, governmental and military use, has entered into a supply agreement with MetalCraft Marine to promote a series of high-performance aluminum boats.
BCGP currently offers 16 models of commercialized Boston Whaler fiberglass boats, and eight Impact rigid hull inflatable boats. Under the agreement with MCM, BCGP’s product offering will be expanded to include five aluminum models ranging from 28 – 45 feet.
“MetalCraft has a solid history of building superior quality aluminum boats for commercial and government applications,” Jeremy Davis, BCGP’s sales manager, said in a release. “They are particularly adept at producing high-performance boats, which is critical in this arena. By joining forces with an established aluminum producer with a solid reputation, BCGP immediately gains access to proven product that complements our existing offering.”
MCM is a fully integrated designer and builder of high-speed aluminum patrol boats, fire/rescue craft, and specialty vessels ranging from 22 – 70 feet.
According to the terms of the agreement, BCGP and MCM will offer five new aluminum models called the “Sentry” series. Each model can be configured for a specific mission, including patrol, special operations, or workboat applications, based on the needs of the purchasing agency. Power options will include inboard diesels, jet drives, sterndrives and outboard engines.
“Now agencies can purchase Boston Whaler fiberglass hulls, Impact RHIBs and aluminum platforms from BCGP with one phone call,” said Davis. “We are excited about this opportunity to expand our offering to address the needs of our customers with a superior caliber product. Naturally, loyal MetalCraft customers can continue to work directly with MetalCraft Marine as they always have.”
