The Art of Vacuum Infusion - Sportsman's "Behind The Glass" (Season 2 - Episode 2)
Channel: Sportsman Boats
Date: 2022-09-23

Welcome to Sportsman Boats, "Behind The Glass," Season 2. This series is based around the construction process of a Sportsman Boat. In this episode we are taking a look at how we have introduced vacuum infusion into our build process. This method creates a much lighter and stronger part allowing us to bring better performance to our larger models. This week we are diving into each step of the process, explaining the materials we use and why we use them. 

Come back every Friday as we release new episodes and take you through the processes we have developed to build the fastest growing line of center console and bay boats on the market.
