Rhodes Yacht Design

Jesse Rhodes is a young and passionate boat designer, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering from NCSU, known for their engineering department. He then attended and graduated from the Landing School of Boat Building and Design in ME. He's been involved with several big boat builders with an eye for the "Carolina" style sportfish look. This typically means an agressive bow entry, lots of boat flare, and a relatively low transom deadrise angle. He was enlisted to come up with a similar running surface but on a smaller scale. Jesse was involved in designing almost all of the hulls Sportsman offers today. Sportsman Boats are well known for their smooth, dry ride and fuel efficiency, this is in part due to Jesse's applications.

Advanced Fiberglass Stringer System

Sportsman engineered a unique stringer system that creates both structure and flotation. Each model has a unique stringer that matches the hull shape, the stringer is a near box-girder design. It is chemically bonded to the hull with the use of Methacrylate, one of the most potent adhesives available for industrial use, this bond creates a weld that will last indefinitely. Once bonded, the box girder area is filled with their foam. It's a 2-process foam that expands as it cures, filling the airspace within the stringer. As the foam's expansion is restricted, the density creates added structural qualities and floatation.

Sportsman Story

Tommy Hancock and Dale Martin are back in the boat building business with Sportsman Boats. These two legendary boat builders combined forces to create Sportsman Boats which manufactures an intelligently designed series of center console and bay boats. Tommy Hancock was one of the original founders of Sea Pro Boats, Inc. which also made Sea Boss and Palmetto boats. Dale Martin was co-founder of Key West Boats, Inc. Hancock sold his business to the Fortune 500 company, Brunswick Boat Group in 2005 and Martin sold his interest in Key West Boats in 2003, but both have kept a close eye on the marine industry. Hancock said, "We've watched what was happening in the industry and we both saw a need in the market place that we believed we could fill."
