Official Parker Press Release:
Beaufort, NC (November 20, 2020) - Parker Boats adds capacity to its factory by opening its second gel coat booth and will benefit in minimizing defects and decreased production time.
This booth has capacity to spray boats up to 40 feet with better lighting and faster color changes with the six-color system that includes white, ice blue, horizon blue, gun metal grey, abaco green and sandy tan. It also has been located to improve the linear flow of production.
Parker Boats also underwent improvements and has additional enhancement plans for the facility. Parker installed a Onsrud CNC router to produce dimensionally accurate core kits along with custom parts. The facility also added a new RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) manifold system with 25 resin transfer stations providing the capability to produce more than 100 RTM components daily. This winter, Parker Boats will incorporate a monorail crane system for stringer installation that will lift, transport and locate stringers across the lamination department.
