Monterey employs only the most talented, experienced and dedicated production personnel. Our models aren't just the most innovative, most reliable and bestbuilt boats by chance. Our proven construction techniques and quality-driven processes keep us at the forefront of our competition time and again.
UNPARALLELED EXPERIENCE. Our production employees are the most highly experienced boat builders. Their attention to detail and sense of pride enables our company to confidently stand behind each and every boat we produce.
DEDICATED FACILITIES. Two separate full-sized manufacturing facilities allow us to properly dedicate time and resources to small and large boats individually.
PRODUCTION PROTOCOL. Our work-intensive process of building your Monterey includes overlaying a 4 oz. vinylester skin coat on the hull (some companies only use 1.5 oz which reduces the overall strength of the hull); spraying 90 mils of SprayCore 2000, the super-tough polyester core material; laying the bulk laminate, or the structure of the boat; installing the stringers and flooring; and finally adding foam, which not only offers floatation but also sound dampening characteristics to our models.
ROLLOVER DECK DOLLIES. Unfortunately, some manufacturers extract their hulls and decks out of the mold by a few stressful points of origin. This can frequently cause binding and stressful characteristics on the fiberglass that, although may not be seen by the naked eye, can create a mountain of expensive repairs for you down the road. We use rollover deck dollies that pull the hulls and decks out of the molds at multiple, strategic points¿reducing the stress significantly and maintaining the integrity of each mold.
EVERY HULL/DECK WEIGHED. Weighing each and every hull and deck is essential to constructing consistent boat models. This process takes the guesswork out of whether or not a boat is too light or heavy according to production specifications.
BARCOL LEVEL TESTED. By checking the barcol level, the level of hardness in a hull and deck mold, we can ensure that the parts are not pulled prematurely out of the molds before they have a chance to properly cure. In fact, we leave our hulls and decks in the molds longer than most manufacturers to ensure your boat will be the sturdiest.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTION. At Monterey, we're continually introducing products that will help us be more eco-friendly. One of our latest is a product called Envirosolve that takes the place of acetone. This new product eliminates VOCs and hazardous concerns.
TRACK PERFORMANCE. Our team continually monitors its efficiency by employing the use of Statistical Process Control charts (SPC). SPC's are used in all areas of the manufacturing process including lamination, final and post production, offering real-time data to our employees.
QUALITY ASSURANCE. We employ a dedicated quality assurance team that constantly evaluates our processes and products, ensuring our standards are met¿ and your expectations are exceeded.
LINEAR PROCESS. We have a disciplined linear process in our manufacturing facilities, allowing us to be highly organized, streamlined and efficient.
WATER TESTING. Whether we're testing your model in one of our four state-of-the-art water test tanks, running it in our conveniently located multi-acre lake, or saltwater testing it in Atlantic Ocean swells, you can bet your boat has been put through its paces and properly inspected.
TOP COMPONENTS. Only the best products make it into a Monterey. For instance, our most recent introduction is a new vinyl into our model line-up. It's softer to the touch, easier to clean, more durable and even whiter/cleaner looking than before.
MAXIMUM HULL PROTECTION. To keep your boats looking great while out in nature's elements, we apply a layer of added protection to colored hulls called SprayCore 1800. This product, sprayed against the gelcoat, dramatically improves and protects the surface profile.
CABIN INTERIORS. At Monterey, we spend as much time on the inside of our models as we do on the outside. Continually perfecting our interiors is crucial to exceeding your expectations, while providing a luxurious platform to encase yourself in.
