Certified Master Tech for Triumph Boats on-site & authorized for Roplene Repairs.
About Triumph Boats’ tough construction:
DESIGNING
First, our engineers create some of the world’s most innovative designs. Using solid modeling CAD, advanced finite element analysis software and extensive testing, they maximize Roplene’s® incredible resilience, strength and shock absorbing characteristics. The resulting designs are as stylish as they are functional.
COOKING
Each design that makes the grade is passed onto our tooling department to be transformed into a state of the art, CNC’d, TIG welded all-metal mold capable of withstanding our 500°F+ molding process. Once completed, every mold is loaded with our proprietary polymer and moved into the world’s largest computer-controlled oven of it’s kind. Each second of the baking process is monitored by advanced sensors and fine-tuned along the way. Storage boxes, gunwales, transom, hull, deck cap - everything is molded into a single seamless piece.
COOLING
Once the computer confirms the cooking process is complete and all material is properly distributed, the mold moves to the cooling process. During cooling, the mold is precisely rotated while the computer program continues to monitor the process, controlling cooling rate the entire time ensuring a consistent, high-strength boat from bow to stern.
INJECTING
After seperating the two halves of the mold and removing the virtually completed boat, we inject high density, 20lbs.-per-cubic-foot foam into the transon and 3lbs.-per-cubic-foot foam into the sidewalls and interior cavities of the hull and deck, far surpassing the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for both foam quality and volume.
ASSEMBLING
Step five is equally thorough. Production teams align subassemblies using locator points molded in the hull. Each installation is double checked against master patterns and templates. Triumph’s CNC router forms decks, hatches and other parts to hair’s-breadth tolerances. Fuel tanks are pressure-tested twice to ensure airtight integrity. Electrical systems feature corrosion resistant solder coated copper wire along with sealed terminals and connectors for trouble-free service. Every step in the process is documented and inspected again to ensure a lifetime of carefree enjoyment.
