    Question

    Ok, the other boat brand uses the proprietary pultrusion process to beef up the transoms and other areas. Do yall have another "process" that is going to be used. Just curious.

    I've been to the Ranger pultrusion facility many times and have seen the process and the transoms built, assembled, and installed in the plant. Pultrusion is a strong unique product but is it better than others or marketing hype? I don't know I've always leaned toward better but I've been through BassCat also and they have one hell of a transom.

    The process that they call Pultrusion was invented long before Ranger came.along. I searched it one time to find some guy came.up.with that process in like the 1940's. They may have came up with the name, and trademarked it, but anybody can use the process as far as I can tell.
