Security Beyond Expectations |

Glacier Bays were originally engineered to meet the needs of two diverse, but demanding markets. Alaskan/NW sportsmen, alone and subject to severe conditions amongst enormous widerness waterways, were looking for a tough boat. While in the South Pacific, inter-island-hopping and fishing Hawaiians also sought a rugged craft. These self-reliant individuals demand a hull with extreme capabilities and reserves of strength. As it turns out, a wide range of our customers have these same requirements.
Our customers primary concern is security. A major requirement is the stem (bow) that can withstand extreme impact with logs, debris , unexpected and submerged objects. Glacier Bay's solution is to reinforce their product with Kevlar and 6 to 10 layers of premium E-glass 24 ounce, woven roving. The Kevlar runs the full length of the stem and wraps around to the keel for impact reduction.
Additional considerations was a fail safe, foam-filled double bottom. This begins with a large foam locker in the bow of the boat that, typically, runs six-feet aft. It is foam-filled above the waterline. This compartment creates an almost inpentrable, watertight compartment right behine the key impact zone.
Aft of the foam-filled, collision bulkhead, compartment, the hull has continuous foam compartments running aft toward the stern. The net effect is amazing security while at sea from impacts with foreign objects. Call a representative of I-90 Marine and we can provide more in-depth information about out product line.
